Ko: Recent Wins Don’t Alter Farewell Plan

World #1 Lydia Ko emphasized her retirement timeline won’t be altered by her latest victories. Ko, 25, previously announced plans to step away from the game at the end of 2023 to focus on family life. Despite winning two of her last three LPGA starts, the New Zealander maintains her decision has not wavered. “I think my reasons for wanting to retire are still the same,” she said. “I’m super grateful for the wins, but the timing is all about being able to start a family whenever.”
