Who is the biggest influence in the life of Lydia Ko ?

The LPGA Tour legend has experienced many wins and losses throughout her career. However, through it all, she feels it’s important to have someone who just treats her as a normal person and not a golfer at the end of the day. “To know that there’s somebody at the end of my round, no matter what I shoot, to always support me and just think of me. Someone, who’s taken me who I am as a person.”

Lydia Ko’s sweet love story

The 2-time major winner disclosed in a post-victory press conference at the CME Group Tour Championship that she first crossed paths with her husband in 2021. Speculations are that the pair had been romantically involved for two years before tying the knot.

What’s particularly intriguing is that Ko was the one who popped the question in a golf-themed proposal, subverting the traditional gender roles in marriage proposals. However, Chung had a surprise of his own up his sleeve during their engagement photoshoot, when he proposed to Ko.
