Alison Lee (born February 26, 1995) is an American professional golfer. She plays on the LPGA Tour and was a college student at the University of California, Los Angeles. She was ranked #1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for 16 weeks in 2013–14.

Early life and amateur career

In 1995, Lee was born in Los Angeles, California to Korean immigrant parents. She started golfing at a young age. Lee's father Johnny Lee was her first instructor.

Lee was an AJGA First-Team All-American for six years, from 2008 through 2013, with nine wins on the AJGA circuit. She was a member of the victorious USA Junior Solheim Cup team in 2009, 2011, and 2013 helping to lead the US to three straight victories and was a member of the Junior Ryder Cup team in 2010 and 2012 and the Curtis Cup team in 2014.

Lee played one season and a half of golf at UCLA, before turning pro in December of her sophomore year. She remained a student at the university, however, during much of her pro career.

Professional career

In December 2014, Lee turned professional. She joined the LPGA Tour after winning the final stage of the LPGA Qualifying Tournament.

In her rookie season, she qualified for the United States Solheim Cup team, based on her world ranking.
