“This partnership reflect the brand’s continued evolution and commitment to TOUR validation,” said PAYNTR Golf Co-founder and President, Mike Forsey. “Min Woo Lee represents exactly what PAYNTR Golf stands for: modern athletes who demand performance without compromise. His involvement speaks to our unique, collaborative approach to innovation and reinforces the performance credibility of our newest line.”

As part of the partnership, Lee worked directly with the PAYNTR Golf design and innovation team to develop the Reserve Classic Tour RS, a TOUR-driven silhouette that blends classic styling with modern performance technology. The Reserve Classic Tour RS will launch on March 31, 2026, as the cornerstone of the brand’s broader Reserve Classic Collection.

“I’ve always been passionate about what I wear on the course, and footwear is an essential part of being able to perform at the highest level, week in and week out,” said Min Woo Lee. “Working hands-on with the PAYNTR Golf team to create this new style was an incredible experience. We focused on performance, aesthetics, feel and stability, all while keeping the timeless look that I love.”

The addition of Lee further cements PAYNTR Golf’s position as a preferred footwear brand for elite professionals and serious golfers alike to give them a performance advantage. The first PGA TOUR ambassador, Jason Day, joined the team in 2024, launching the Classic Collection featuring the Eighty Seven SC, Match Day, Moving Day and All Day models. Additional styles from the Reserve Classic Collection will launch throughout the 2026 TOUR season.

“Our goal has always been to engineer footwear that performs at the highest level,” said PAYNTR Golf Co-Founder and Creative Director Michael Glancy. “Having fully engaged athletes like Min Woo Lee and Jason Day involved throughout the development process is pivotal in bringing these designs and performance benefits to life on the PGA TOUR.”
