Lee finished sixth in the Race to Dubai standings in the 2021 season and he was one of only six players who could win the season-long points list at the DP World Tour Championship.
The 23-year-old won his first DP World Tour event in 2020 at the ISPS HANDA Vic Open and he had the best week of his career in July at the Scottish Open.
He beat Matthew Fitzpatrick and Thomas Detry in a playoff to win his first Rolex Series event. His last 12 months have been some of the best of his career.

At just 23 years old, the future is still extremely bright for Lee.
