Nelly Korda captured the U.S. Women's Open on Sunday at Riviera Country Club. Her winning putt on the 18th green drew peak television viewership of 2.2 million.
Korda ended a winless stretch in 2025 by claiming the year’s first major. She followed earlier victories at the Tournament of Champions and an event in Mexico. The final putt measured 2 feet 10 inches and completed a performance that averaged 1.3 million viewers on Sunday. That figure marked the second-highest Sunday rating for the event since 2014. Runner-up Gaby Lopez expressed satisfaction despite finishing second. She said she felt amazing and held no regrets after her closest major finish to date. LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler has highlighted the need for stars like Korda to expand the tour’s audience. Korda now leads the season with two major titles.
