It's been a big year for our Kiwi golfers.

After finishing third in the final event of the PGA Tour Champions, Steve Alker is one of the best feel-good sporting stories of the year.

Kiwi World no. 3 Lydia Ko closed out a two-shot victory collecting a US$2 million prize in the season-ending LPGA Tour tournament.

And Ryan Fox finished second at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, ending the year inside the World’s top 50 and earning himself an invite to Augusta National for next year’s masters, ticking off another long-term goal.

NZ Golf CEO Dean Murphy joined Mike Hosking.
