2020 Women's World Golf Rankings: No. 1, Top 50 at End of Year
Jin Young Ko finished the year 2020 at No. 1 in the rankings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ko played only four tournaments on the LPGA Tour, but she was runner-up in one, and won the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. Her No. 1 ranking at the end of 2020 reflects, in part, her stellar 2019 season in which Ko won four times on the LPGA, including two major championships.
