Mhairi McKay

Aberdeen Asset Management is now in its fourth year of sponsorship with Scottish golfer Mhairi McKay. The sponsorship agreement sees the Aberdeen logo appear on the front panel of Mhairi’s cap and on her shirt, sweater and waterproof clothing in all tournaments she competes in on the LPGA. This agreement is particularly significant as Mhairi is the first female to be sponsored by Aberdeen Asset Management.

Mhairi will return from the States later this year to play in the Aberdeen sponsored Ladies Scottish Open which this year takes place at Archerfield Links GC in East Lothian from 18 – 20th August 2010.

Mhairi grew up in Girvan near the famous Turnberry golf links where she learnt to play and is still a club member. Based in America, she is a regular player on the LPGA but also plays on the LET in specific European tournaments.

McKay turned professional after graduation and qualified for the LPGA Tour at her first attempt, finishing joint 56th at LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament earning non-exempt status for the 1998 LPGA season.

She was an LPGA Tour rookie in 1998. She has yet to win on the LPGA Tour, but she had second place finishes in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and claimed her maiden professional win in 2003 at the AAMI Women's Australian Open.
