Lydia Ko Finally Reveals Her Ultimate Goal, and It's Not a Re-Entry ...

In any undertaking, a person’s form can rise and dip. This is especially true for those who are involved in professional sports. Even the ones who are popular for their consistency might sometimes slip and get into a rough phase in their career. Although it might be a stretch to call it a rough phase, Lydia Ko is going through one of them.

Being the youngest golfer ever to reach the world’s number 1 position, Ko enjoys a loyal and enthusiastic fanbase. And her fans have been waiting for something to cheer them up. In a recent video posted by the PGA Tour’s Instagram handle, Ko gave her fans, especially her Canadian fans, a chance to smile wide. 

After winning the title at the CME Group Tour Championship in November last year, Lydia Ko didn’t play much until February this year. She shared the sixth position with three others at the Honda LPGA Championship in Thailand in February.

She fondly exclaimed, “I love it so much here that at one point I started googling, do New Zealanders get any privileges in getting permanent residency or visas in Canada.”

Her fans had interesting and fun things to say in the comment section. Let’s look at their reactions.

While there were some comments jokingly questioning why she wanted to live in Canada, of all places, she mostly received love and support. Multiple fans offered to sponsor her.
