Lee Soo-min (Korean: 이수민; born 12 October 1993) is a South Korean professional golfer.
Lee won the 2013 Gunsan CC Open on the Korean Tour while still an amateur.[1] He turned professional in 2014 and began playing regularly on the Korean Tour, winning the Gunsan CC Open again in 2015.[1] He earned a 2015 Asian Tour card through qualifying school; as a rookie, he recorded two top-three finishes and placed 29th on the Order of Merit.
In February 2016 Lee was joint runner-up in the Maybank Championship Malaysia, an event co-sanctioned by the European Tour and the Asian Tour. In April he won the European Tour's Shenzhen International on a sponsor exemption, giving him full European Tour membership.[2] Two weeks later he lost in a playoff for the GS Caltex Maekyung Open, a Korean Tour/OneAsia Tour event, a result that lifted him to a career-high 68 in the world rankings.
