Lydia Ko drops heartfelt message to fans after yet another LPGA milestone

On Sunday, March 2, Lydia Ko claimed the HSBC Women's World Championship 2025 with a four-shot triumph over Ayaka Furue and Atthaya Thitikul. This was her 23rd LPGA Tour win and her first since the 2024 Kroger Queen City Championship.

Following her historic triumph, Ko took to Instagram to express gratitude to her support staff and the Singapore fans for their relentless support.

"Received an overwhelming amount of support in Singapore throughout the years, and to now win the HSBC Women's World Championship is so special ❤️ Grateful to be able to celebrate this win with some of my family, friends, team, sponsors, and fans!" she wrote.

Speaking at the winner's press conference, Lydia Ko reflected on her win.

"It means a lot," she said. "I think when you come to the same tournament, the same kind of venue, you get to know the people here. I've made some great friendships and some junior girls that always come with signs with my name on it. They truly make it very memorable. Sometimes I've had good weeks out here, and sometimes I haven't played so well."

She said it was a fun week and that focusing on herself helped her secure another title.
