Columbus, Ohio – Sterling Sports Management (“Sterling”) announced that they have signed an exclusive golf representation agreement with fashion model and LPGA Tour player, Anna Rawson.
Anna Rawson is a pioneer in the world of women’s golf. She is both a fashion model and professional tour player. She started playing golf at the age of 13 in her native Australia and by 19, she had won the South Australian Championship, the Victorian Junior Championships and the Jack Newton International Junior Classic and had been medalist at the Australian Amateur Championship twice. She was recruited to the University of Southern California where she helped the school win its first ever NCAA championship in 2003. Anna graduated with a BA in Communications and 3 straight scholar athlete awards.
At the age of 16, Anna became a finalist for a cover for Dolly Magazine, an Australian teen magazine and a modeling career was born. Since then, Anna has been in countless fashion shoots, fashion shows and on TV shows. Since earning her LPGA card in 2008, she has graced the covers of over 30 magazine all over the world, including this week’s issue of GolfWeek magazine. She has been a syndicated golf columnist in magazines in over 20 countries and currently has a TV show and weekly newspaper column in Korea.
In explaining her selection of agencies, Rawson said, “Sterling has represented me in Asia for the past 4 years, and we have enjoyed much success together. Sterling already represents some of the top golfers on the LPGA tour, and they really know the women’s golf market better than anyone else. So when my longtime management company evolved away from golf, it was an easy choice to let Sterling represent me globally.”
J.S. Kang, Sterling’s Vice President, said, “Anna Rawson deserves a lot of credit for raising the profile of women’s golf all over the world. By utilizing her golf talent, beauty and intelligence, all in a natural and charming way, Anna has helped pioneer a new and exciting era in women’s golf.
