Rose Zhang has been a part of the Adidas family for some time.
She was the first athlete to sign a Name, Image and Likeness agreement with the brand during her time at Stanford.
Zhang’s amateur career was one for the record books with back-to-back NCAA titles and holding World Women’s Amateur No. 1 for a record 141 consecutive weeks.
Zhang signed a multi-year contract with Adidas as she started her professional career wearing apparel, accessories and footwear at the Mizuho Americas Open. She won the event and was the first woman to be victorious in her professional debut on the LPGA since 1951.
“As I begin this next phase in my career, I can’t wait to represent the 3-Stripes as a professional,” said Zhang. “Over the past year we’ve been able to work on some amazing projects together. I love the products and can’t wait to continue this journey with the adidas team.”
