SINGAPORE: Three-time major champion Lydia Ko will return to Sentosa Golf Club to defend her title at the HSBC Women’s World Championship from Feb. 26 – March 1, 2026. In her 11th appearance at the tournament, Olympic gold medalist, Ko won the 2025 championship with a four-shot victory over Japan’s Ayaka Furue and Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul, following a steady final-round 69 that included three consecutive birdies starting at the sixth hole. The win marked the 23rd LPGA Tour title of her career.
