Lydia Ko Swaps Clubs for Cookware: Golf Star Finds Zen with Gordon Ramsay Recipes and Netflix Binges
While Lydia Ko is best known for her precision on the golf course, off the greens, she’s just as passionate about what’s cooking in her kitchen. In a recent candid podcast appearance, the world-class golfer opened up about her love for culinary adventures and cozy Netflix sessions — a pastime that keeps her grounded amid a demanding tour schedule.
“I really enjoy cooking, especially trying out Gordon Ramsay’s recipes,” Ko shared, with a laugh. “Even on my days off, my family sometimes jokes, ‘Are you sure you’re allowed in the kitchen today? Shouldn’t you be relaxing?’”
But for Ko, the kitchen is where she unwinds. The rhythm of chopping vegetables, sautéing ingredients, and following along with Ramsay’s famously energetic tutorials offers a different kind of focus — one that contrasts the pressure of tournament play.
“It’s almost like meditation for me,” she explained. “You follow the recipe, you’re in the moment, and at the end, you get to enjoy something delicious.”
After her culinary creations are plated, Ko often settles in for a Netflix binge, making the most of her downtime with a favorite series. It’s a simple routine, but one that helps her recharge for the challenges ahead on the LPGA Tour.
As the golf season heats up, fans can rest assured that whether she’s perfecting a swing or a soufflé, Lydia Ko is finding joy in every moment.
