“I want to play the best golf while I’m still playing, and that’s obviously the biggest goal for me right now,” said Lydia Ko after being asked about her long-term plans for golf. The 27-year-old, soon to be 28, has been open about potentially retiring around the age of 30, although she’s now taking things day by day. With a packed schedule of over 20 events this year, Ko is reassessing her energy levels and considering whether to play more or less. While experience has made certain aspects of golf easier, she acknowledges that the sport still takes a toll. Grateful for her accomplishments, Ko’s focus remains on performing at her best while she’s still active in the sport.

After clinching the 2025 HSBC Women’s World Championship with a score of 275 (-13), Lydia Ko took a well-deserved break before diving back into action at the Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass. She finished T6 with a score of 270 (-18), showcasing her unwavering consistency and skill on the course. She then bounced back from a tough finish at the Founders Cup, where she scored 283 (-1) and finished T48. Earlier, she had finished 6th at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions with a score of 275 (-13).

As Ko continues to conquer the golf world, speculation about her potential retirement has fans and pundits alike wondering what’s next. Well, we have the answer for that. Ko has confirmed her participation in the Chevron Championship, and fans are eagerly awaiting her performance.

With her recent wins and strong performances, Ko’s looking to continue her winning streak, but it is surely not going to be easy for her.

Top players to look out for at the 2025 Chevron Championship

The 2025 Chevron Championship is just around the corner, and the stage is set for an exciting showdown among the world’s top golfers. With no dominant player emerging this season, the competition is wide open, and anyone can win. Nelly Korda, the defending champion, will be looking to defend her title after a mixed start to the season. Despite struggling to reach the top spot recently, Korda’s talent and experience make her a strong contender. Other top players to watch out for include Jeeno Thitikul, who has been consistent this season with three top-5 and one top-10 finish in five participations, and Angel Yin, who is looking to turn her runner-up finish in 2023 into a win after a strong start to the season with a victory at the Honda LPGA Thailand.

Lilia Vu, the 2023 Chevron Championship winner, will also be a force to be reckoned with after a strong comeback from injury. With a runner-up finish already this season, Vu will be aiming to replicate her success from last year, when she won LPGA Tour Player of the Year, Rolex Annika Major Award, and LPGA Tour Money Winner.

Other notable players to look out for include Charley Hull, Minjee Lee, and Lauren Coughlin. With a talented field of 132 players competing for an $8 million purse, the 2025 Chevron Championship promises to be an exciting and unpredictable event.
