World Number.1 Nelly Korda has clinched her first LPGA Player of the Year Award, the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) confirmed on Monday after it became mathematically impossible for anyone to catch her for the points-based award. In an already historic 2024 campaign America’s Korda has six victories and three additional top-10 finishes. Her wins included a record-equalling run of five straight capped by her second major title at the Chevron Championship, and she represented the United States at the Paris Olympics and in the Solheim Cup.
