She missed out on Player of the Year honors, but Ko
had a campaign that most players can only dream of. The 19-year-old won four times, including a major, and took home a silver medal in golf’s return to the Olympics. Ko made plenty of headlines off the course as well, parting ways with her
caddie and teacher and signing a
new equipment deal with PXG. She may be the biggest protagonist in women's golf, but as Meryl Streep (
Kramer vs. Kramer) and George Clooney (
Syriana) showed in Oscar-winning performances, stars can still excel in supporting roles.
