‘Maybe Its Time’: With Retirement Questions Looming Over Her Head, LPGA Star Lydia Ko Reveals the Secret Behind Not Taking the Drastic Step Yet
The LPGA Tour stars are right now stationed in Ohio for the Kroger Queen City Championship. Undoubtedly, the two rounds of the game have been enveloped in fierce competition from all sides. While the leaderboard is being headed by Chien Peiyun, veterans like Charley Hull and Minjee Lee are also strongly contending. Among them, one name that seems to be regaining momentum after a disappointing performance in Portland is none other than Lydia Ko!
The two-time major winner has time and again portrayed a resilient front on the greens. However, her recent games haven’t been able to vouch for the same. Thus, it was not surprising to witness the golf star open up about her struggles as she pointed toward the goodbye looming over her professional days. Nevertheless, the LPGA icon revealed the secret that has prevented her from taking this drastic step yet.
On September 8, 2023, at the Kenwood Country Club in Ohio, Lydia Ko divulged the tough times she has been facing on the golf field. Amidst discussing all the troubles, her answer took a rather unexpected route. Mentioning how a lot of things had been going through her mind, she shockingly admitted, “This is my tenth year on tour, and you start thinking, oh, maybe it is that time.”
She was undoubtedly talking about bidding goodbye to the greens, though she quickly added a line about still being unsure about all the things surrounding her mind. The golfer seemed to be fighting a battle inside herself, stating that she was not sure how long she could continue playing. However, one certain matter remained: her trying her best on the field.
