Kiwi world No. 1 Lydia Ko appears to have found her new caddie for 2017 and beyond.

According to Golfchannel.com, Peter Godfrey will take up the bag for Ko at this week's Volunteers of America Texas Shootout in Texas.

The Englishman was named Caddie of the Year for 2017 back in March by peers after a stand-out season working with South Korean prospect Ha Na Jang.

Godfrey has also worked with Ko's main rival Ariya Jutanugarn, helping the Thai to her landmark win at the British Open last year.

Ko recently parted ways with previous caddie Cary Gilchrist after just nine events together, with Godfrey set to become the 10th bag-man of her professional career to date.
