Healthy Jin Young Ko and Other Notable Players Ready for 2024 LPGA Debut in Thailand

Several stars are teeing it up in Thailand. Former World No. 1 Jin Young Ko returns to competition at the Honda LPGA Thailand. The last time the South Korean star teed it up on the LPGA at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, she was wearing a brace on her left knee. Ko eventually withdrew from the event prior to the third round.

Ko insists that’s now behind her and said doctors checked her entire body – knees, shoulders, wrists, spine – and reported that she’s healthy for 2024. She flew to Vietnam during the extended offseason to train with her coach and feels confident going into her 10th season as a professional, including time spent on the KLPGA.

Her goal this year: Stay healthy and keep her energy up throughout the season.

“Usually our season is like the first five months were really nice, and then our energy starts getting lower,” she said. “We want to be consistent with our energy, performance, everything… Hard practice and after the practice, let it be, let it go.”
