The Dow Chemical Company announced a sponsorship with LPGA rookie sensation Jiyai Shin. She joins LPGA TOUR player Suzann Pettersen and PGA TOUR players Sean O’Hair and Corey Pavin in representing Dow and promoting an array of Dow products that bring value to the golf market.

In 2008, she won her first LPGA Tour major at the Women’s British Open in Berkshire, England. Her performance in 2009, which included three wins and a dozen top 10 finishes, earned her the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year award. She also finished the season as the leading LPGA money winner.

“It is such a joy to be associated with a world renowned company like Dow,” said Shin. “They are already doing so many wonderful things for the game of golf, so I would like to do my best to support Dow in any way I can as well.”
