Ko ascended to the top of the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings last year,with her stellar play earning her four tournament victories including two majors; the ANA Inspiration and the Evian Championship. Apart from a brief drop to the number-two position last June,she has maintained a firm grip on first place in the global rankings since April 2019. Ko's dominant performance also saw her become the first South Korean to win the LPGA Player of the Year award,the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average,and the most earnings on the tour in the same year.

"I'm very pleased to be partnering with LG and am excited about my role as an LG SIGNATURE brand ambassador," said Ko. "I am truly grateful for the company's support and will continue to play the best golf I can."

A perfect match,LG SIGNATURE and Ko share a commitment to excellence and a well-deserved reputation for world-class performance – Ko for her skill and consistency on the golf course,and the premium brand for the unmatched convenience and quality of its products.

"We're also thrilled to have her as an LG SIGNATURE ambassador; her refusal to settle for anything less than the very best fits perfectly with the brand's philosophy. She is a true champion and we believe she's only just getting started."
