Thailand’s golf star Jasmine Suwannapura has signed on to become a client of global sports marketing agency SPORTFIVE.
The 28-year-old, who turned professional in 2011, has signed with SPORTFIVE for worldwide management and representation of all her commercial activities.
Suwannapura, one of Thailand’s leading women golfers, is currently ranked 72nd on the Women’s World Golf Ranking.
Last year, she finished in the top 20 of the LPGA Season Standings and 12th on the money list – both of which are her career-best results.
A winner of nine professional events worldwide, she has two career victories and seven Top
10s on the LPGA Tour to her name. She got the first of her two titles at the 2018 Marathon
Classic before clinching another victory at the 2019 Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational.
Suwannapura will join a SPORTFIVE star-studded stable that already includes American Phil
Mickelson and Jon Rahm from Spain as well as Malaysia’s Danny Chia and Gunn Charoenkul
