“Beauty golfer” An Sohyun has signed a sponsorship contract with wine service company Purpledog.

An Sohyun’s management company, Next Sports, announced on the 5th that a sponsorship signing ceremony was held at Purpledog’s main store in Songpa-gu, Seoul. An Sohyun will wear the Purpledog logo on the right side of her cap during the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour tournaments she participates in this season. Additionally, Purpledog will offer wine and subscription services using An Sohyun’s name.

An Sohyun joined the KLPGA in 2013 and has mainly competed on the Dream (2nd division) Tour.

Purpledog is a service company that delivers wines tailored to customers’ tastes to their homes monthly for a fixed fee. CEO Park Jaejung stated, “We plan to actively promote golf marketing through the KLPGA Tour tournaments in which An Sohyun participates this year.”
