World No. 1 Lydia Ko is only 18, but she’s handling herself like the superstar athlete she is. At her press conference during the Volunteers of America North Texas Shootout Presented by JTBC on Wednesday, Ko announced she’d be donating all of her prize money from this week’s tournament to the relief effort in Nepal, which was rocked by a deadly earthquake last week:

“Yeah, obviously it was very unfortunate when I got to hear that there was an earthquake in Nepal. We had a big one in New Zealand, too, a couple years ago, and it affected a lot of people. There it was in Christchurch where we call it the Garden City, but now it still has the name, but there are still evidence of what has happened there. Natural disasters you can’t do much about. Sometimes it’s hard to be prepared for it, so I thought, those people there, nice people and very innocent, so I wanted to give this tournament’s earnings and donate it to them.”

To put that in context: The purse at this week’s event is $1.8 million, and the winner last year made just shy of $200,000.
