LPGA players worked with American Express to find a company that aligned with them, and each company is owned by women. Ko landed on High Octane Coffee.
Ko believes this one quote from Rahm really clicked with her because it taps into something the New Zealander thinks she needs to work on: not trying to be perfect on the golf course.
From comebacks to new arrivals, bigger purses and sponsorships from new companies, here are nine things we’re hoping to see take place on tour this coming season.
Consistent play brought Ko another reward on Sunday when the 24-year-old was officially awarded the LPGA’s Vare Trophy for the season’s low scoring average for the first time in her storied eight-year LPGA career.
This is the second straight year that the top players in scoring average aren’t eligible for the Vare Trophy because of failing to reach the minimum-round threshold, although the pandemic in 2020 understandable impacted how many events players could reasonably compete in.
The thing is, it’s not like Ko isn’t extremely proud of winning the medal. On the contrary, she says it’s one of the biggest moments of her life. And that final round and the medal ceremony remains vivid in her memories.
We have witnessed tournaments without fans – which gave us, if nothing else, a break from screams of, “Get in the hole!” Perhaps in an act of karmic grace, we have witnessed what can best be described as “The Year of the Comeback.”
With Olympic Club hosting the US Women’s Open for the first time this week, Kay Cockerill, has become a “course whisperer” to many with questions about the iconic venue ahead of the championship.
