Lee Wybranski

What Lee Wybranski does

Lee Wybranski Art & Design is a privately held sole proprietorship operating as the official artist for all four men's major golf championships — the U.S. Open (since 2008), The Masters, the PGA Championship (since 2012), and The Open Championship — as well as the Ryder Cup and other premier events including the Walker Cup, Solheim Cup, Presidents Cup, LPGA tournaments, TGL, and Keeneland horse racing meets. The firm was founded in the mid-1990s in the Philadelphia area and is currently headquartered in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, with a customer service operation in Flagstaff, Arizona. Headcount is reported at 1–10, reflecting a founder-led creative business in which the brand is inseparable from the individual artist.

The commercial engine is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at leewybranski.com, complemented by on-site merchandise sales at championship tents during the majors. The product range is anchored by official championship posters and prints (priced from roughly $30 to $395 depending on size and format), limited edition signed and numbered pieces (up to $500 for the 36x48 inch Black Edition tier), original paintings, and a growing merchandise line that includes sherpa blankets, tumblers, can coolers, tote bags, coasters, puzzles, pub signs, and garden flags themed around golf landscapes and tournament artwork. A secondary B2B revenue stream consists of logo redesign, branding, scorecard, yardage book, and pen-and-ink illustration services for golf clubs and organizations (e.g., the Merion Wicker Basket and Winged Foot clubhouse work).

The underlying technology is hand-authored fine art — original watercolor, pen and ink, and digital print production — distributed through a standard e-commerce platform with no disclosed AI, API, or proprietary software components. Revenue is generated through unit-priced, pay-as-you-go transactions on the storefront plus contracted creative services engagements; the company is privately held with no external investment, no parent entity, and no public revenue disclosure.
