Age waiver for Ko
Print Edition
New Zealand’s 16-year-old golfing prodigy Lydia Ko has been granted full membership to the LPGA Tour from the start of the 2014 season after the governing body waived the age limit clause, the tour said yesterday. Ko, who was born in South Korea and moved to New Zealand when she was six, was the youngest player to win a professional tournament when she clinched the New South Wales Open in Sydney aged 14. Her mother Tina had confirmed earlier this month that her daughter had asked the LPGA for an exemption. Ko formally announced her decision to turn pro last week. The LPGA Tour has an 18-year-old age requirement for membership but Commissioner Mike Whan said they have made an exception for Ko.
