World number one Lydia Ko is making a number of changes for the upcoming golf season with the announcement of a new sponsor and a new caddie.
Ko announced on Twitter she has a new equipment deal with Parsons Xtreme Golf having previously used Callaway gear.
Meanwhile, the Golf Channel is reporting Gary Matthews will be her full-time caddie following a trial period at the end of last season.
Matthews has previously worked with Sergio Garcia, Anthony Kim and Camillo Villegas.
Ko's first tournament of the season will be at the Australian Open next month. The 19-year old is yet to announce who her new coaches are after firing David Leadbetter and Sean Hogan.
"I can't really say any coach's names yet," Ko told GolfChannel.com.
"Because I haven't tried out anyone yet. I just got back to Orlando last night, and I'm going to see what my options are. I'll definitely have a coach before going to Australia.
"My parents have been with me from Day 1, and, yes, they give me input, but if I didn't want to make this switch, I wouldn't have done it.
"The final decision was mine. It's why I reached out to David, not my parents. I thought this was going to be the right decision going forward. It's my decision, and I have to own it."
