Nelly Korda comienza 2026 con una victoria y dos segundos puestos

Tras una temporada 2025 sin victorias, Nelly Korda ha tenido un fuerte comienzo en 2026 en el LPGA Tour. Ganó el Tournament of Champions, acortado por el clima, y terminó segunda tanto en el Founders Cup como en el Ford Championship. La número 2 del mundo lidera ahora varias categorías estadísticas clave al inicio del año.

Nelly Korda reflexionó sobre su frustrante campaña de 2025 en noviembre, durante el CME Group Tour Championship en Naples, Florida. A pesar de haber tenido mejores estadísticas en promedio de puntuación, golpes ganados desde el tee, porcentaje de birdies y evitar bogeys en comparación con su dominante temporada 2024, en la que consiguió siete victorias incluyendo un major, no levantó ningún trofeo. “Honestamente, es una línea muy delgada”, dijo Korda. “A veces todo se reduce a un solo golpe”. Agradeció a su equipo por mantener la perspectiva durante los momentos difíciles, señalando la naturaleza voluble del golf con los malos rebotes y los putts que se salen del hoyo.
