For LPGA golf sensation, Lydia Ko, having one high-profile golf instructor oversee her swing is definitely enough.

A pre-tournament press release issued today by the LPGA stated that Tiger Woods’ former coach, Sean Foley, was working alongside David Leadbetter and offering Ko guidance on her swing remotely using the V1 Sports video analysis software. According to Matthew Smith, Academy Coordinator at Leadbetter Golf Academies, Sean Foley has never worked with Ko, however. And Foley’s agent, Christopher Armstrong, tells GolfWRX that his client has never even met her.

In the release, Ko is quoted as saying, “I sent some swings to him video-wise. And he gave me some tips with Sean. So that is sort of like a good quick fix. I obviously haven’t seen him for a few weeks. I’d love for him to be onsite but it works for when he’s not here.”

It’s incredibly likely that Ko was referring to Sean Hogan, a Leadbetter disciple who resides in Orlando, Fla. It’s easy to understand how the mixup could have occurred, especially given Ko’s successful first year on tour.

Ko’s professional debut got off to an eventful start when she posted her announcement via a clever YouTube video poking fun at herself and the hoopla surrounding her decision to rescind her amateur status. Ko made even more headlines a year ago when she and her management team split from long-time coach Guy Wilson who guided her throughout her brilliant amateur career and would begin working with Leadbetter and Hogan.

In addition to parting with Wilson, who had been at her side since age five, Ko has had a busy year signing mega deals with Callaway and IMG, all the while auditioning multiple caddies (eight and counting) during her inaugural season on the LPGA tour.

Decisions of this magnitude, both on and off the course, could easily derail a seasoned professional, let alone a teenage phenom in hipster glasses, but Ko has handled everything with maturity and aplomb. Already this season, Ko has won twice on tour, finished inside the top-10 an additional nine times and has risen to third in the Rolex Ranking.

For anyone who was originally critical of Ko’s decision to work with Leadbetter, and by extension, Hogan, the results speak for themselves. Up next for Ko? A chance to finish the season on a high note. The LPGA Rookie of the Year award and Race to the CME Globe points race is still up for grabs.
