The top women’s professional golf circuit announced that American world number one Nelly Korda has secured the LPGA’s points-based player of the year award with three events remaining in the 2024 season. 

This season, Korda has finished in the top 10 three times and scored six victories. Moreover,  the athlete won five tournaments in a row as she secured her second major title.

Korda stated: “This season has had its highs and challenges, and I’m just really grateful for the people around me who have helped me get here… It’s been a team effort, and I’m proud to share this moment with them.”

Despite missing the autumn Asian swing because of a neck injury, Korda was a member of the winning squad at the Solheim Cup and represented the United States in the women’s golf competition at the Paris Olympics.
