Ko said, “I think for me, especially at the end of last year as I was getting closer to the D-Day of getting married.” She was pleased about her marriage, as she found the perfect partner. “I was like, man, I literally have found my best friend. I’m going to get married to the person I love the most, and everything else was going to be a bonus,” said the New Zealand professional golfer.

Having a perfect life partner made her feel confident about herself and her career. She did not care if she shot 85, 75, 65, or 55. All she cared about at the moment was her love, Jun Chung. No matter if she loses or wins the golf match, her partner will be there with her to support her. Ko explained how having Chung by her side helped her. She said, “that was such a like easier mindset to go out there and play and just focus on my game and just have fun and not let golf dictate who I am and how I perceive myself.”

When did Ko get married?

Five days after Christmas, Lydia Ko wed Jun Chung in Seoul’s enormous Myeongdong Cathedral. After maintaining a largely secretive relationship, the 25-year-old made her engagement to Chung public in August. 

Her marriage was the end of the spectacular year of 2022. Last year, she had her first multi-win season since 2016. Ko won thrice on the LPGA Tour. She received the largest winner’s check in women’s golf history—$2 million—for her most recent achievement, the CME.
