Learn to Swing Like LPGA Player of the Year Lydia Ko

Learn to Swing Like LPGA Player of the Year Lydia Ko

The LPGA wrapped up their 2022 season on Sunday in historic fashion. Not only did they give out the biggest winner’s check in professional women’s golf, but their season long champion had a year for the record books. Lydia Ko won the CME Group Tour Championship by two shots over Leona Maguire.

Ko’s consistency all year has been remarkable. In a season where she won the scoring title (Vare Trophy), official money title ($4.3 million), and the Rolex Player of the Year, what can be said to sum it all up? As a PGA Coach, I would rather just give all of you a quick insight to her success. Watch this quick video tweeted by the LPGA over the weekend.

Did you see her extension through the ball? That’s the move to copy. Her arms are reaching through to the target. Most amateurs’ arms shrink as they get to impact. Great players like Ko extend at that moment. Look again. Do you see the long “v” formed by her two arms as she swings through. Visually, that is what you should see and feel in your own swing.
