Can Lydia Ko fix what’s ailing her after overhauling her team?

It was not that long ago when we were noting that even a natural disaster like the earthquake that rattled parts of New Zealand early last year could not shake Lydia Ko’s nearly flawless play as the then-teen phenom continued to compile win after win and secure her stranglehold on the world No. 1 ranking.

Then, during and after a 2016 season that featured four LPGA Tour wins, including her second major at the ANA Inspiration, and three runner-up and seven additional top-10 finishes, Ko took it upon herself (with some help from her parents) to shake things up.

In October, with three tourneys yet to play, she fired caddie Jason Hamilton, who had been lugging Ko’s bag for two years. In the offseason, she ditched Callaway gear in favor of PXG equipment and split from longtime coaches David Leadbetter and Sean Hogan, who helped her win eight events that included her first major, as well as 2014 Rookie of the Year and 2015 Player of the Year honors, and hired on with Gary Gilchrist.

She did struggle somewhat after her Marathon Classic win a year ago, with three top-10s but also a T51 and two T43s in nine events, and hoped that wholesale changes in her entourage would fuel a new competitive drive heading into 2017. In April of this year, following a T2 finish at the Lotte Championship and three other top 10s before that, Ko gave looper Gary Matthews the pink slip after just nine events together.

Pete Godfrey, Ko’s 10th bagman since she turned pro three years ago, is now looping for the 20-year-old Kiwi by way of South Korea. Though she praised Godfrey last week for his “positive attitude,” one can’t help but wonder how long he will be handing her clubs after she blamed “a club selection error” for her first of nine bogies in Saturday’s third round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on her way to a horrific 5-over 76. Hey, we hear her No. 1 PGA Tour golfer’s ex-bagman may be looking for a new boss.

But wait. There’s more.

Earlier this month, the current world No. 4, after Lexi Thompson surpassed her in the Rolex Rankings with a T7 at the Women’s PGA, added another new face to her inner circle. New putting coach Gareth Raflewski also instructs Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn and Jane Park, who is married to Godfrey.

“They say when it’s working why change?” Ko said in a December email to LPGA.com. “Even though I have made quite a few changes the past few months, I guess I didn’t realize until people started pointing it out to me. But I don’t regret making them.”

We wonder if Ko would make such a statement today, after foundering mightily over the weekend at the second major of the women’s season, where she followed that nightmarish third round with a 75 to finish in a tie for 59th at 5-over for the week — 18 shots behind winner Danielle Kang.

This, after climbing into contention earlier in the week with a 68 in Friday’s second round.

Ko is certainly not the first successful champion to swap out swing coaches (see: Tiger Woods/Butch Harmon, Hank Haney, Sean Foley, Chris Como, Notah Begay III), switch equipment suppliers (ask Rory McIlroy about his 2013 season after dumping Titleist for Nike), or hop on the caddie-go-round (Cristie Kerr knows something about that), and she likely won’t be the last.

But so many changes in such a short period of time after such huge successes at the start of her professional career certainly do not seem to be doing Ko much good. For now though, she was speaking about the cold-weather attire she wore on what turned out to be a steamy Friday, Ko could have been summing up her season when she told reporters, “Now it’s all gone wrong … it’s all gone wrong.”

Of course, Ko can’t hoist a trophy in every tournament she starts. But here’s hoping the youngest player to achieve so much (tour winner, Rookie of the Year, Player of the Year, among other accomplishments) can find a way to rekindle the spark that had her at the top of the game, or she may retire before she reaches 30.
