She said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the ECCO Golf family and can’t wait to start competing in the ECCO shoe from January 2017.

“ECCO Golf has such an outstanding reputation in the women’s game. As soon as I began testing their new products, I knew there was only one shoe brand I could compete in moving forward.”

Jesper Thuen, responsible for global sponsorship at ECCO Golf, added:

“What Lydia has achieved since turning professional just a few years ago is nothing short of astonishing. We couldn’t be more excited to have her representing the ECCO Golf brand.”

“We have no doubt that she’ll continue achieving great things in the women’s game, and we look forward to being a part of her journey.”
