Where Will Lydia Ko Play Next, After BMW Ladies Championship Defeat?
Three victories and a gold medal! Yes, that is exactly what Lydia Ko has garnered this season over the year. Even so, her golf game wasn’t enough to rake in a victory at the recently ended BMW Ladies Championship, unfortunately. But no worries, the 2024 LPGA Tour calendar isn’t over yet. Meaning? Well, there are four more tournaments left until the CME Group Tour Championship. However, where would we be able to spot the New Zealand pro among these events?
To find out the answer to that question, we need to take a quick look at the recent Instagram post that the 27-year-old shared on her handle. “Thank you ,” wrote the golfer as she expressed her gratitude to the country where the BMW Ladies Championship took place before adding, “Few weeks off before finishing up the season in Florida!”

Hmm… Interesting! Now, let us put on our detective hats, at least for a short while. There are a total of three events left on the 2024 LPGA Tour calendar that will be teed off in Florida including The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, the CME Group Tour Championship, and the Grant Thornton Invitational.
The event hosted by Annika Sorenstam will kick off on November 14, at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. The other two, meanwhile, will tee off at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples. And as per the field that has been set aside for The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, it appears that Lydia Ko will be participating in the tournament in Belleair. There’s your answer!
Where will she be playing after that? According to the field that has been set aside, the golfer will then take part in the season finale before attempting to defend her title of champion alongside Jason Day at the Grant Thornton Invitational. Hopefully, Ko will be able to put up an even better performance than her run at the BMW Ladies Championship.
How did Lydia Ko fare at the 2024 BMW Ladies Championship?
13-under 275. Yes, this is what Lydia Ko scored at the recently ended event at Seowon Valley Country Club in South Korea. Over the four days of play, the Kiwi managed to card a total of 15 birdies, alongside two bogeys to put up figures of 67-66-71-71. By doing so, she raked in a cut of $37,438 from the total prize pool of $2.2 million all the while finishing at the 12th position among the list of 78 golfers.
The athlete will hopefully try to regain her winning momentum and increase her tally of wins to four in the current season, all the while aiming to clinch her 23rd LPGA Tour victory. But will she be able to do it? The fans can only hope so as she tees off at the ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican in November.
