World number one Lydia Ko will be gunning for her third consecutive CME Globe title this week as the LPGA Tour season draws to a close with the 2016 Tour Championship.
New Zealand's Ko won the coveted $1 million Globe bonus in both 2014 and 2015. The cash prize goes to the player who finishes on top of the season-long points race.
"For me to be in this position and have the opportunity to go for the Globe again it's a pretty cool position to be in," said Ko.
In 2014, the then 17-year-old Ko claimed her first Globe when she beat Carlota Ciganda and Julieta Granada in a playoff. She is the only player to win both the Tour Championship and the Globe in the same season.
In 2015, Ko finished tied for seventh in the tournament but it was still good enough to give her the points title.
This time Ko has her work cut out for her as she will have to catch current points leader Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand.
