LPGA’s Brittany Lincicome Strikes CME Group as New Sponsor

CME Group, the world’s leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced its sponsorship of LPGA player Brittany Lincicome.

“CME Group is excited to increase its commitment to women’s professional golf by supporting Brittany Lincicome, one of the LPGA’s most promising young players,” said Anita Liskey, Managing Director Corporate Marketing & Communications, CME Group. “Sponsoring both Brittany and the LPGA through our one-of-a-kind CME Group Titleholders event broadens the reach of the CME Group brand globally and furthers our efforts in engaging with customers.”

In 2011, Lincicome recorded her fourth and fifth LPGA victories of the season at the CN Canadian Women’s Open and the ShopRite LPGA Classic, respectively. Lincicome’s additional top-10 finishes this season have included: second place tie at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup; third place tie at the LPGA State Farm Classic and the LPGA HanaBank Championship; 10th place tie at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.  In August, Lincicome qualified and competed as a member of the U.S. Solheim Cup Team with a 2-2-1 record, marking her third time on the team.

“I am excited to have the backing of CME Group at this stage of my professional golf career,” said 27-year-old Lincicome. “CME Group and their staff represent excellence, and I look forward to working with them.”
