Kiwi world number one Lydia Ko has seen in 2017 the way she finished 2016 with yet another change, this time to her look after signing on to wear and design a line of clothing with MCKAYSON.

The three-year agreement with the South Korean-based company involves the creation of the MCKAYSON LK Line.

The 19-year-old will participate in the line's design and will begin wearing the new styles at next month's ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open where she will be making her season debut.

MCKAYSON is not only a clothing line after it jumped on board as sponsor as one of the LPGA Tour's new events in 2017, the MCKAYSON New Zealand Women's Open in September.

The change comes at a turbulent time for Ko after the world number one split with her caddie of three years Jason Hamilton as well as cut ties with her coaches David Leadbetter and Sean Hogan in the final month of last season.

Earlier this month, Ko also announced a new equipment deal with Parsons Xtreme Golf having previously used Callaway.
