On December 7, espnW unveiled its 2015 IMPACT25 list, 25 athletes and influencers who have made the biggest mark on women in sports this year – capped by The espnW Woman of the Year, to be chosen by the honorees themselves and announced at the inaugural IMPACT25 Gala on Thursday, Feb. 25, in New York. In addition, espnW teamed with Marvel Comics to create “super” takes on each of the honorees on the IMPACT25 list.

To determine the 25 most impactful figures of 2015, espnW surveyed a panel of sports experts and luminaries, including women’s sports influencers, former players and ESPN’s own editors and executives on the 2015 sports landscape and divided the standout individuals into two categories, Athletes and Influencers.

Lydia Ko was among the list of the 2015 IMPACT25
