The decision to sign a female pro was an obvious one for Purple Lounge. In the past few years, the site has seen amazing growth in female membership. According to Julia Wild, “From our launch just 2 years ago, Purple Lounge has always been a home to a large community of women players and it’s something we’re extremely proud of. It’s natural that we sponsor a female player and we’re expecting great things from Michelle Orpe, she’s a true professional and we’re very lucky to have lured her to Purple Lounge.”
