'Prize Money Queen' Ko Jin-young (25, photo) was featured in the BBC's top 10 golf news of 2020. On the 22nd (Korean time), BBC announced major global golf news under the title "10 reasons why golf made us smile this year." They reflected, "Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), The Open and Ryder Cup were canceled, and even the Evian Championship and most senior tournaments were called off," adding, "Many golf legends passed away."

Although BBC did not specifically rank the news, it is interesting that Ko Jin-young's rise as the prize money queen was listed as the eighth story. They introduced, "Despite participating in only four tournaments, she secured first place in prize money by winning the final event," and added the forecast, "She is expected to maintain the world No. 1 ranking for some time." Ko Jin-young stayed in Korea due to COVID-19 but returned late last month, finishing the season with a runner-up at the US Women's Open and a victory at the CME Group Tour Championship.

The outlet also highlighted surprises such as Sophia Popov (Germany)'s unexpected win at the AIG Women's Open, 'No. 1' Dustin Johnson (USA)'s autumn Masters victory, Bryson DeChambeau (USA)'s US Open win after completing a 'distance revolution' through body conditioning, Lee Westwood (England)'s European Tour 'Race to Dubai' championship, and the rise of young players like Viktor Hovland (Norway), Collin Morikawa, and Matthew Wolff (both USA).
