LPGA rookie Anna Rawson, the subject of an “E:60″ profile airing Tuesday (7 p.m. ET on ESPN), has somehow thrived in this dismal landscape. She has picked up high-profile sponsorships with GoDaddy and the fashion designer J. Lindeberg despite a current ranking of 104th on the prize money list. How did she do it? Well, by exploiting her ample good looks. But also with a novel marketing plan that leverages her background as a runway model. The tall Australian writes a syndicated column in magazines around the world, offering golf fashion tips. She has built a provocative website that highlights her various interests, and she’s a manic Tweeter. As much as any athlete on tour, the former USC golfer has embraced the notion that the key to selling the sport is both attraction and connection.
