Linn Grant reveals what amazes her most about Lydia Ko, ‘that’s super impressive’

Lydia Ko is a remarkable figure in the world of golf, having achieved numerous feats at a young age. New Zealand teammate Linn Grant expresses her awe at Ko's resilience and professionalism, even when facing setbacks throughout her career. Ko has won three major championships and is close to completing the Career Grand Slam, while also securing all three Olympic medals, a remarkable achievement considering golf was only introduced to the Olympics in 2016.

Ko holds the distinction of being the youngest world number one across both men's and women's golf, reaching the top spot at just 17 years old. Grant acknowledges Ko's impressive ability to recover from difficult periods, noting that she consistently returns to the top three or even world number one after experiencing dips in her career.

Grant also compliments Ko's professionalism and thoughtfulness, both on and off the golf course. When discussing the new Women's Tour Golf League (WTGL), Grant shares her initial impressions of the SoFi Center. She is impressed by the size and grandeur of the arena, expecting the intimate atmosphere to be a positive factor for players.

Despite growing up in Sweden, where she is used to practicing indoors, Grant acknowledges that adapting to playing indoors in a large, illuminated space will require some time. As the WTGL season begins, the league has the potential to elevate the status of the women's game, attracting more casual audiences and potentially leading to discussions about mixed-format competitions between men and women golfers.
