Tumblr media
What Is Lydia Ko's Net Worth? Lydia Ko is a pro golfer from New Zealand, and she is worth $25 million. Lydia Ko has been the best woman professional golfer in the world at different times in her career. She first held this title in February 2015, when she was only 17 years old. Lydia was the 2014 LPGA Rookie of the Year and the 2015 and 2022 LPGA Player of the Year. She has also been a player director on the LPGA Board. Ko won a silver medal at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and a bronze medal in Tokyo in 2020. She was named one of the 100 most influential people by "Time" magazine in 2014. In 2014 and 2015, she was also on the EspnW Impact25 list. In the 2019 New Year Honours, she was named a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. Early Life Bo-Gyung Ko was born in Seoul, South Korea, on April 24, 1997. Lydia was 4 years old when her family moved to New Zealand, and she became a citizen of the country when she was 12. Ko started playing golf when she was 5 years old. Her mother took her to a pro shop at the Pupuke Golf Club that was owned by professional golfer Guy Wilson. Wilson ended up coaching Lydia until the end of 2013. At the age of 7, Ko began to get attention from the media when he competed in New Zealand's national amateur championships. Lydia went to Mairangi Bay Primary School and Pinehurst School. When she was on professional golf tours, she took courses from Pinehurst by mail. She studied psychology outside of school with Korea University, Seoul, beginning in 2015. Career In January 2012, Ko, who was only 14 years old, won the Bing Lee/Samsung Women's NSW Open on the ALPG Tour. This made her the youngest player to ever win an event on a professional golf tour. In the fall of that year, Canadian golfer Brooke Henderson broke the record. Lydia won the CN Canadian Women's Open in 2012, 2013, and 2015. In November 2013, she played in the CME Group Titleholders, which was her first professional tournament. The LPGA usually requires its members to be at least 18 years old, but they made an exception for Ko. Tour commissioner Mike Whan said, "It's not often that the LPGA welcomes a rookie who has already won back-to-back LPGA Tour titles." Before she turned pro, Lydia had been the best female amateur golfer in the world for 130 weeks. In 2014, Ko won the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, the Marathon Classic, and the CME Group Tour Championship. In 2015, she won the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open, the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, the Canadian Pacific Women's Open, The Evian Championship, and the Fubon LPGA Taiwan Championship. Ko got sponsored by Parson's Xtreme Golf in 2016 and won the Kia Classic, the ANA Inspiration, the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, and the Marathon Classic. She competed in the 2016 Summer Olympics and won a silver medal. She was the youngest player to win an Olympic medal in women's golf in Rio de Janeiro. She was also New Zealand's youngest individual female Olympic medalist. Lydia won the LPGA Mediheal Championship in 2018 and the Lotte Championship in 2021. She also got a bronze medal at the rescheduled 2020 Summer Olympics. In 2022, Ko won the CME Group Tour Championship, the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio, and the BMW Ladies Championship. Lydia was the best woman golfer in the world in 2015, 2016, and 2022. Career Earnings As of this writing, Lydia Ko has earned a little under $17 million from tournament winnings. She has earned tens of millions more from endorsements. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images) Personal Life Lydia and Chung Jun got engaged in August 2022. Chung Jun is the son of Chung Tae-young, who is the CEO and vice chairman of both Hyundai Card and Hyundai Commercial. Ko said about her boyfriend, "I was so young when I joined the tour, and all I knew was golf. If I had a bad day on the golf course, I thought I was a bad person, and if I had a good day, I thought I was a better person. But now I don't think that affects me as much, because I have my family and the people I love, and this one special new person has come into my life, and I think through him I've just been able to enjoy life, enjoy the process." Lydia added, "He has helped me love the game again. It's not just work anymore. I think it will take a very special person to show me that." Records, Achievements, and Awards Ko is the youngest golfer to win a professional golf tour event (2012), an LPGA Tour event (2012), a Ladies European Tour event (2013), two LPGA Tour events (2013), five events on a major tour (2014), the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open (2015), and 10 events on a major tour (2015). In 2014, Lydia was the youngest person to win an LPGA Rookie of the Year award. She was also the youngest player to set an LPGA record for the most money earned by a rookie ($2,089,033), and as a 17-year-old, she won the largest payout in LPGA history ($1.5 million). In 2015, she was the youngest golfer to be ranked #1 by both the Rolex World Golf Ranking and the Official World Golf Ranking. She was also the youngest player to be named LPGA Player of the Year. As of October 2016, Lydia Ko had won more than $7.3 million from 70 tournaments. This put her at #25 on the Career Money List. She has been nominated for three ESPY Awards. In 2015 and 2016, she won Best Female Golfer and Best Female Golf Player. In 2015, she was also up for Best International Athlete. Lydia has also won the Mark H. McCormack Medal (in 2011, 2012, and 2013), the Halberg Supreme Award (2013), and the LPGA Vare Trophy (in 2021 and 2022).
