NAPLES, Fla. – Jin Young Ko finished off her dominant season.

She swept the LPGA’s major season-long awards with her finish Sunday at the CME Group Tour Championship.

Ko added the Vare Trophy and the LPGA money-winning title to the honors she had already clinched. She joined Yani Tseng, Lorena Ochoa and Ariya Jutanugarn as the only players to win the Player of the Year Award, the Vare Trophy and the money-winning title while holding the Rolex world No. 1 ranking.

“I want to say that this is not the end but only the beginning,” Ko said at the Rolex LPGA Awards dinner.
