The 2015 Evian Championship winner made her 12th appearance at the Major last week, and missed her second cut after 2019. Following her early exit this year, Ko shared a video of her workout with her trainer on her Instagram story. Ko shared the video and captioned it in Korean, which translated to:

"Even though I was eliminated, I enjoyed the rest of my time thanks to you guys."

During her pre-tournament press conference at the Evian Resort Golf Club, Ko was asked about her plans to reset and refocus over a busy stretch of golf. She shared (via ASAP Sports):

"Yeah, I'm playing five majors out of my seven starts, including this one and the AIG Women's Open in a few weeks. It's nice to I think play the majors.

Chevron kind of happens and here we are at our fourth one (Evian Championship) out of the five, so it goes by fast. I feel like I've done a pretty good job maintaining my schedule so that my energy levels are really good."

The 28-year-old added how she will manage her schedule in the coming weeks.

"I'm going back to the U.S. and coming in for Wales again. I think because I've been on Tour for so long I have the experience to kind of know and understand what I'm capable of doing physically. I think that's a good way to gauge how to manage the schedule."

Ko expressed that she has been managing her calendar well to feel energized heading into the tournaments.
