The gold medal is priceless, of course. But the LPGA Hall of Fame point that comes with it might mean even more to Lydia Ko, who become just the 35th member of the prestigious Hall.
Ko also receives an exemption into the AIG Women’s British Open in two weeks, but she’s already in that field as well as the LPGA majors for 2025.
While this will not count as an official LPGA victory, all players in the field receive Rolex Rankings points.
On the podium, Ko received a long, slender box, which goes to all the medal winners in 2024. The box contains a commemorative poster.
