Lydia Ko of Auckland, New Zealand, hits her tee shot on the 11th hole on Thursday, Feb. 6th during the first round of the LPGA 2025 Founders Cup at the Bradenton Country Club in Bradenton, Florida. Lydia Ko is dealing with a tingling sensation in her right arm after waking up with a neck spasm earlier in the week.
Ko, the World’s No. 3 player, discussed her situation ahead of the LPGA’s first major of the season, the Chevron Championship in The Woodlands, Texas.
“I’ve been getting a lot of treatment on it,” Ko told Golfweek after finishing up her nine-hole pro-am event Tuesday. “It’s better than yesterday but still doesn’t feel like my normal arm.”
Ko, who turns 28 on Thursday, said she feels she can play through the issue.
“It was playable but I could feel it at the top of my backswing and my finish,” Ko said. “My coach was like, ‘Oh, you kind of finish like Mr. (Arnold) Palmer.’ I was like well that’s good news, of all the people, I would love to be like Mr. Palmer.”
A 23-time winner on the LPGA Tour and already a member of the LPGA Hall of Fame, Ko won this major in 2016 when it was played at Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

In the 2025 NFL Draft, which college football schools, conferences had the most and least picks?
The grip held by the SEC and Big Ten on college football has grown more powerful in recent years, and now their collective reign of dominance also extends to the NFL Draft.Nearly 60 percent of the NFL’s 257 selections in seven rounds belonged to either the SEC (79) or Big Ten (71). It’s not unusual for the leagues to send more players than their contemporaries; the SEC regularly leads that category, with the Big Ten usually finishing second. But the widening talent gap separating these leagues from their contemporaries has become canyonlike.

Bills had a mission for the NFL Draft. What’s ahead as they look to overcome weaknesses?
The NFL Draft has come and gone, and the Buffalo Bills have their 2025 class. The Bills had a clear plan for their early rounds and came away with some starting-level and dependable depth.Now with a day to ponder what the Bills did, where do things go from here? And how is their long-term roster health looking after the draft?AdvertisementHere’s our post-draft Bills notebook.The Bills’ offseason mission was abundantly clear: get the defense to catch up to the offenseOf all the moves the Bills have made since free agency began — and there were many — they have added only one player of substance to their offense. That was wide receiver Joshua Palmer, who is likely to be a starter and key contributor to their receiver room in 2025.Outside of him, every position has the same starting faces and key […]
Assessing Browns’ QB room after drafting Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel
You can call the just-completed NFL Draft for the Cleveland Browns the draft of twos.The under-construction Browns now have two first-round picks for 2026. Throughout Friday and Saturday, they selected two running backs and two quarterbacks. The most intrigue comes from the two quarterbacks and the many routes the position might take in the weeks, months and even years to come.AdvertisementAfter drafting Dillon Gabriel in the third round and Shedeur Sanders in the fifth, the Browns have four healthy quarterbacks entering what coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry have said since March will be an open competition for the starting job. Both draft picks were stunning in their own ways, and now the Browns have a crowd and further long-term uncertainty in their quarterback room.In March, the Browns acquired Kenny Pickett in a trade. Two weeks before the […]
Eagles post-NFL draft depth chart: Defensive front reinforced, TE remains unpredictable
The Philadelphia Eagles entered the offseason with a maintenance-oriented plan to balance a budget that needed to make room for future contract extensions without jettisoning too many key veterans. A reigning Super Bowl champion seeking to elongate its golden era accepted the risk of a conservative free agency cycle, knowing that the 10 rookies it eventually acquired in another trade-happy draft could help fill the depth holes that remained, especially on defense.AdvertisementAfter agreeing to terms with eight undrafted players, the Eagles now have 90 players who will eventually be under contract. Plenty can change between now and the beginning of training camp. But here’s what Philadelphia’s roster looks like exiting the draft. (Rookies are italicized.)QuarterbackProjected starter: Jalen HurtsBackup: Tanner McKeeOthers: Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Kyle McCordGeneral manager Howie Roseman restocked his “quarterback factory” by spending the No. 168 pick on Syracuse’s Kyle McCord. It’s a homecoming […]
Zach Orr, Trenton Simpson among Ravens’ winners and losers coming out of NFL Draft
The newest Baltimore Ravens will get their close-up later this week. Eleven draft picks in all and somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 undrafted free agents will descend on the Under Armour Performance Center for the start of rookie minicamp.They’ll meet their new coaches and teammates, get fitted for their equipment and take the field for the first time as NFL players. The Ravens’ rookie minicamp will put a bow on the 2025 draft.AdvertisementGeneral manager Eric DeCosta has again gotten high marks after selecting another large draft class. He checked just about every box, except adding a space-eating backup nose tackle to replace the retired Michael Pierce.It takes a few years to evaluate a class fairly. It takes very little time, however, to analyze the winners and losers from the draft. When you add over 30 players to the organization, […]
