Lydia Ko capped 2022 with a victory at the CME Group Tour Championship in a season that saw her reach world No. 1, claim the Rolex Player of the Year award and the Vare Trophy for low scoring average.

It was undoubtedly a successful season, and yet Ko will have a new caddie on the bag in 2023.

David Jones will take the reigns after Ko and Derek Kistler spent the latter half of 2021 and all of 2022 together. Ko’s sister and manager, Sura, confirmed the news to Golfweek.

It won’t be the first time Jones has looped for the New Zealander.
