Nelly Korda starts 2026 with win and two runner-up finishes

Hausa

After a winless 2025 season, Nelly Korda has opened 2026 strongly on the LPGA Tour. She won the weather-shortened Tournament of Champions and finished runner-up at both the Founders Cup and the Ford Championship. The world No. 2 now leads several key statistical categories early in the year.

Nelly Korda reflected on her frustrating 2025 campaign in November at the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Fla. Despite better stats in scoring average, Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, birdie percentage, and bogey avoidance compared to her dominant 2024 season with seven wins including a major, she lifted no trophies. “It’s honestly a fine line,” Korda said. “It comes down to sometimes one shot.” She credited her team for perspective during tough times, noting golf's fickle nature with bad bounces and lip-outs.
