Nelly Korda secured her 16th LPGA Tour win at the 2026 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, finishing at 13-under par after the event was controversially reduced to 54 holes due to weather. The 27-year-old's third-round 64 proved decisive, edging out Amy Yang by three shots at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club. The decision to end play early drew criticism from players amid improving conditions.
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 lost the 2026 Fortinet Founders Cup by one shot to Hyo Joo Kim after missing a three-foot par putt on the 17th hole during the final round. Despite erasing a five-shot deficit with a flurry of birdies, the late error doomed her comeback at Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club. Korda called it one stupid mistake.
