Nelly Korda targets third major and Hall of Fame entry

Nelly Korda enters this week's KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minn., with two majors already secured in 2026. A victory would make her the first player since Inbee Park in 2013 to win the first three majors of the season and clinch LPGA Hall of Fame induction.

Korda, 27, leads the LPGA in several strokes gained categories this season after winning four of her first eight starts. She has spoken about maintaining an in-the-moment mindset to manage the added pressure.

"I think I have a very in-the-moment mindset this year," Korda said Wednesday. "I kind of like to be oblivious about it in that way. I know a lot about the stuff that I want to know about, but this, I don’t want to put extra pressure on myself."

The tournament begins Thursday with Korda grouped alongside Hannah Green and Sei Young Kim at 9:17 a.m. ET. Featured group coverage will be available on Peacock alongside broadcasts on Golf Channel and NBC.
