Amid Heated Battle Against Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko Repays ‘Super Supportive’ LPGA Sisters With a Special Gesture

In the midst of a fierce competition with Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko made a heartfelt gesture to show appreciation for her fellow LPGA players and staff by treating them to a Korean barbecue after a practice round in Busan.

This act of kindness continued a tradition started by Chella Choi, who is currently on maternity leave. Ko acknowledged the support she has received from her LPGA peers throughout the season, despite the intense rivalry on the course.

Reflecting on her successful year, including her gold medal win at the 2024 Paris Olympics and her induction into the Hall of Fame, Ko emphasized how much the camaraderie within the LPGA means to her. While Ko and Korda are fierce competitors for the Player of the Year title, their mutual respect and friendship remain evident off the greens.
