Scan Global Logistics has expanded its team of top Danish professional golfing ambassadors with the signing of Ladies European Tour player Amalie Leth-Nissen.
Leth-Nissen, who turned 18 this week and is still studying at college, only joined the professional ranks earlier this year following a highly successful amateur career.
Announcing her partnership with Scan Global Logistics, she becomes the fourth Danish golfer sponsored by the fast-growing global transport and logistics provider, along with LPGA player and club mate Emily Kristine Pedersen and DP World Tour players Rasmus and Nikolai Højgaard, the latter of whom has been selected to play for the European team in this month’s Ryder Cup in Rome.
Leth-Nissen started playing golf aged eight and at 13 became the youngest girl to play for Denmark’s national team. She topped the Danish Golf Union Women’s Order of Merit in 2020 and 2021, and lead her team to a third-place finish in the 2022 European Ladies’ Team Championship. She reached sixth in the women’s world amateur rankings.
Juggling high school and 20 weeks of travelling yearly as a professional golfer requires discipline, organisation, and detailed planning. Combined with her ambition, dedication, and determination to do her best every day, her approach perfectly fits the entrepreneurial and ‘can-do-attitude’ of her new sponsor, SGL.
The sponsorship with SGL will enable Amalie to focus solely on improving her skills and attending as many tournaments as possible to achieve her goals. Initially, she will focus on the Ladies European Tour, with the long-term goal being to establish herself on the LPGA Tour.
Leth-Nissen said: “As a professional, I must do my very best every day to be at the top. The logistics around travelling the world can be demanding; if any, SGL knows what it takes to make it run smoothly. We share the same mindset of seeing challenges as possibilities to learn and improve one’s capabilities. I look forward to being an SGL ambassador and sharing the world as our workplace.”
Commenting on the partnership, Mads Drejer, COO & CCO of SGL, said: “Amalie’s talent is undeniable. We are happy to be able to sponsor one of the most successful young golfers in dreaming big and helping her to achieve her goals. Talent, perseverance, and a playful attitude reflect our approach to achieving our goals, making our partnership a perfect match.
“With her outgoing personality and dedication to enjoying herself, Amalie will become a part of SGL’s customer and supplier events. ‘Firstly, in Europe and hopefully, the rest of the world when she joins the LPGA Tour, which we are sure she will.”
