Lydia Ko’s remarkable year got better on Monday when she re-ascended to world No. 1.

Ko overtook Nelly Korda for the top spot in the Rolex Rankings, marking her first time there since 2017.

"I'm very grateful to be world No. 1 again. To be honest, I wasn't sure if I'd ever be back here again," Ko said in an LPGA press release. "This wouldn't have been possible without my family and team, thank you for your belief and love."

Ko was previously ranked No. 1 for a span of 19 weeks, beginning in Feb.
