About Lydia
Few golfers have accomplished as much at such a young age as Lydia Ko. Born in South Korea and raised in New Zealand, Ko became an international sensation when she won the CN Canadian Women’s Open on the LPGA Tour as an amateur at just 15 years old. She later became the youngest player ever to reach world No. 1 and has collected three major championships, three Olympic medals (bronze (2020), silver (2016), and gold (2024), and more than 20 total LPGA victories throughout her career.
In 2024, she secured her place in the LPGA Hall of Fame, further cementing her legacy as one of the game’s greats. Known for her exceptional short game, strategic thinking, and calm demeanor, Ko has remained a consistent contender for more than a decade.
