Lydia Ko is a golfer who amazed the public many times with her performances, but also with her maturity even when she was a teenager and world number 1.
Her career had an interesting trajectory, as she became extremely popular as an 18-year-old.
Some wonder if Ko will experience saturation and end her career much earlier than expected.
In an interview with the media before the start of one of the tournaments, the 28-year-old golfer shared her visions regarding the future, still not knowing when she will put an end to everything.
Ko has much more freedom in this period of her career than when she was taking her first steps on the golf scene.
I honestly don't know when my last event is going to be, she told talkSPORT.
I do have more of the freedom of what tournaments I want to play versus when I was a rookie 12 years ago."
Lydia Ko: I've always wanted to leave the game while I still love it or still enjoy it
Lydia Ko is a member of the Hall of Fame, but she stresses that regardless of that, she got to know her body and herself better every year.
Having a great career, it is natural that questions arise as to how long you want to be a part of this sport and whether you enjoy it at all.
The New Zealand golfer clearly enjoys golf, admitting that she does not want to leave golf the moment she no longer has passion for the sport.
But I think even if I wasn't a Hall of Famer, over time, you just realise and understand your body a little bit more. I think it just comes with time outside of just my career as a whole.
I've always wanted to leave the game while I still love it or still enjoy it. Because I don't want to stop playing because I just purely don't like it anymore.
Golf has given me a lot in my life and made me experience so many different things that I probably wouldn't have if I wasn't a golfer. So I don't want to step away because I don't even want to see my golf clubs anymore."- she continued.
The 28-year-old golfer worried some, saying that she is still not sure when she will finish her career, but she feels that it is closer than some think.
Whether Ko feels that it is time for the end or has certain visions regarding the future is still not certain.
She wants to enjoy this phase of her career, planning to be an important figure in the coming period.
