Rolex is also proud to<br />
support many of the<br />
world’s best female<br />
golfers in the world. All<br />
three women in the<br />
New Guard are<br />
incredibly young, yet<br />
have experienced<br />
success beyond their<br />
years.<br />
Nobody has achieved<br />
more at such a young<br />
age than the<br />
supremely-talented<br />
New Zealander Lydia<br />
Ko. At just 20 years old,<br />
Ko holds 12 LGPA Tour<br />
wins, as well as two<br />
Major titles.<br />
Having spent a record<br />
130 weeks as the topranking<br />
amateur, Ko<br />
went on to become<br />
the youngest player of<br />
either gender to<br />
achieve number one<br />
status in the Rolex<br />
Rankings as a<br />
professional.<br />
She then became the<br />
youngest woman to<br />
win a Major<br />
championship in 2015<br />
at The Evian<br />
Championship, where<br />
Rolex is the Official<br />
Timekeeper, and made<br />
history by becoming<br />
the youngest golfer to<br />
win two Major<br />
championships in a row<br />
with victory at the ANA<br />
Inspiration in 2016.<br />
Her extensive list of<br />
achievements can be<br />
attributed to her<br />
obsession with<br />
precision, practice and<br />
relentless consistency.<br />
Ko, like the great<br />
Annika Sörenstam,<br />
plays with an accuracy<br />
and elegance found<br />
only in the very best.
