Ko, 25, will begin the season next week at the
Aramco Saudi Ladies International with Jones, who caddied for
her at the 2021 Lotte Championship. In that event, Ko posted a
seven-stroke victory to halt a lengthy victory drought.
Ko's team offered no comment as to why she decided to switch
caddies after having Derek Kistler on the bag last year and half
of 2021.
The Kiwi star finished 2022 with the CME Group Tour Championship
trophy and claimed the Rolex Player of the Year award and Vare
Trophy for low scoring average.
Jones has enjoyed his share of success, caddying for In Gee Chun
when she won the 2016 Evian Championship and for Sung Hyun
Park's two major titles - the 2017 U.S. Women's Open and 2018
KPMG Women's PGA. Jones' most recent position was caddying for
Nick Taylor on the PGA Tour.
