Nelly Korda inleder 2026 med en vinst och två andraplatser

Efter en segerlös säsong 2025 har Nelly Korda fått en stark start på 2026 års LPGA Tour. Hon vann den väderförkortade Tournament of Champions och slutade på andra plats i både Founders Cup och Ford Championship. Världstvåan toppar nu flera viktiga statistiska kategorier tidigt under året.

Nelly Korda reflekterade över sin frustrerande säsong 2025 i november vid CME Group Tour Championship i Naples, Florida. Trots bättre statistik i snittresultat, Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, birdie-procent och bogey-undvikande jämfört med hennes dominanta säsong 2024 med sju segrar, inklusive en major, fick hon inte lyfta några troféer. ”Det är ärligt talat en hårfin gräns”, sa Korda. ”Ibland handlar det om ett enda slag.” Hon gav sitt team äran för att ha hållit perspektivet uppe under tuffa tider och noterade golfens nyckfulla natur med oturliga studsar och bollar som precis missar hålkanten.
