Jin Young Ko figures to be plenty rested whenever the LPGA Tour resumes. Ko left the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida, on Nov.
24 as the No. 1 player in women's golf, capping off her four-win, two-major season as the LPGA player of the year and winner of the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average.
The plan was to return for the Asia swing in mid-February and work her way into the season. She's still waiting. The next event on the LPGA schedule is May 14 at the Pelican Women's Championship in Florida, and that's looking more doubtful with each rapid development of COVID-19. “In the 17 years that I've been playing golf, this is the first time I've had such a long break from competition,” Ko said in an email interview.
