LPGA Finale Has Ko, Park Vying for the Biggest Prizes
NAPLES, Fla. — Without question, it's a rivalry. Lydia Ko and Inbee Park are just choosing not to make it a heated one.
All they're playing for this week at the LPGA Tour Championship is the No. 1 spot in the world rankings, the season's money crown, the yearlong scoring title and the tour's player of the year award. Oh, a potential payday of $1.5 million might be awaiting them as well. And Park could wrap up her eventual spot in the LPGA Hall of Fame.
It's not a head-to-head matchup that starts Thursday at Tiburon Golf Club — there are 69 other players in the field — but it sure seems like one, given that the tour's biggest award races are left for Ko and Park to decide.
