Ko won four times in 2016.
Ko's 2016 started where she left off from 2015, winning the ISPS Handa New Zealand Women's Open for a third time in four years by two shots from Choi Hye-jin, Felicity Johnson, and Nanna Koerstz Madsen.
Just 11 minutes before she was due to tee off for her final round, an earthquake struck, with Ko vowing to donate her prize money to charity to help those affected.

On the LPGA Tour, Ko won the Kia Classic in March with a four-shot margin over Inbee Park, and the following week, on 3 April, she made it consecutive major titles with a one-shot victory at the ANA Inspiration.
The win strengthened her position as No.
1 in the world as she became the youngest double major winner in the history of the game since Young Tom Morris at the 1869 Open Championship.
Later, Ko added two more victories on the LPGA Tour at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship and Marathon Classic.
In August, she represented New Zealand at the 2016 Summer Olympics, where she won the silver medal.
Ko was runner-up for the Vare Trophy (lowest scoring average) for a second consecutive year; however, last year's difference of 0.026 was, literally, twice as much as this year's 0.013 which separated her from winner Chun In-gee.

Following the 2016 season, Ko announced that she had signed an equipment sponsorship contract with Parson's Xtreme Golf (PXG), ending her use of Callaway equipment.
Ko also announced in December that she parted ways with both her caddie and swing coach David Leadbetter, who had been coaching Ko since November 2013.
