Team Kronos ambassadors will wear the Kronos logo throughout the 2019
and 2020 seasons as well as participate in corporate events and social
media campaigns in support of the Kronos brand. LPGA golfers signed to
Team Kronos are:
-
Marina
Alex (Instagram,
Twitter),
28, has 17 Top 10-finishes in her LPGA career, including a
breakthrough win at the 2018 Cambia Portland Classic thanks in
part to firing a career-low 62 (-10) in round one. The Wayne, New
Jersey-native and 2015 inductee into the Vanderbilt University
Hall of Fame was a two-time SEC (News - Alert) Player of the Year in college and
has topped $2.3 million in career earnings. Alex currently sits 6th
in the Solheim Cup standings, 28th in the Rolex Women's
World Golf Rankings - where she's the 5th-ranked
American in the world - and 40th in the Race to the CME
Globe.
-
Brittany
Altomare (Instagram,
Twitter),
28, turned pro in 2014 after graduating from the University of
Virginia as a four-time All-American and 2013 ACC Player of the
Year. Altomare has five Top 10-finishes on the LPGA Tour,
including runner-up results at both the 2018 Buick LPGA Shanghai
and The Evian Championship in 2017, which is her best finish in a
major. Hailing from Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and ranked in the
top 50 worldwide with nearly $1.4 million in career earnings,
Altomare is 11th in the 2019 Solheim Cup standings and
38th in the Race to the CME Globe.

Megan
Khang (Instagram),
21, is a true rising star on the LPGA Tour, having racked up 13
Top 10-finishes - including six in 2018 - since her 2016 rookie
season, amassing more than $1.4 million in earnings. Currently
ranked 8th in the Solheim Cup, Khang is an eight-time
U.S. Challenge Cup Junior Golf Foundation Player of the Year and
helped Team USA win the 2015 Junior Solheim Cup as the only player
to go 5-0. Khang was also the low amateur at the 2015 U.S. Women's
Open Championship. Born and raised in Rockland, Massachusetts,
Khang's parents fled Laos as children during the Vietnam War, and
her mechanic-turned-golf-coach father - who taught her to swing a
club at the age of 5 - remains her caddy today.
-
Jaye
Marie Green (Instagram,
Twitter),
25, from Fort Lauderdale, Florida has four Top 10-finishes and 26
Top 25-finishes in her five-year LPGA career. Green, who turned
pro out of high school, won the 2011 South Atlantic Amateur
(Sally) Championship and was a member of the victorious 2011 U.S.
Junior Solheim Cup team. In 2018, Green sank the third-most eagles
on tour (11) and is currently 19th in greens in
regulation in the 2019 LPGA Tour season. She's the first player to
earn medalist honors twice at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament
by winning in 2013 and 2016.
