Lydia Ko (New Zealand) maintained her No. 1 position for the seventh consecutive week in the women's golf world rankings announced in the second week of 2023.

On the 10th (Korean time), Lydia Ko recorded 7.64 ranking points to hold the top spot in the Rolex Women's Golf World Rankings.

After winning the CME Group Tour Championship last year, Lydia Ko reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the women's golf world rankings announced on November 28, marking her first time at the top in 5 years and 5 months. She has held the lead for seven consecutive weeks since then.

Since there have been no significant tournaments after the CME Group Tour Championship, there was little change in the top rankings. Nelly Korda (USA) remained in 2nd place with 7.15 points, and Atthaya Thitikul (Thailand) ranked 3rd with 6.18 points. Among Korean players, Ko Jin-young held the highest position at 5th place with 5.80 points, the same as the previous week. However, the points gap between her and Lydia Ko widened slightly from 1.47 to 1.84 points.

Jeon Ji-hee remained steady in 8th place with 4.68 points, and Kim Hyo-joo ranked 9th with 4.32 points. Park Min-ji also held 14th place with 3.35 points without any change in ranking. Choi Hye-jin stayed at 20th place with 3.10 points. Kim Su-ji rose one spot to 32nd place with 2.40 points.
