The LPGA told they’ve got a new ‘surprise star’ who’s become their MVP over Nelly Korda this year
When it comes to who the best player on the LPGA Tour has been this season, there is surely no doubt at all that Nelly Korda stands head and shoulders above almost everybody else, with the world number one winning six times earlier in the year.
Nelly Korda added a second major title to her resume as she went on a remarkable run of winning six times in seven starts.

Lydia Ko has made a late charge with her wins at the Olympics and the Women’s Open. But Korda is the superstar of the tour when it comes to matters on the course.
However, perhaps another name has emerged as the tour’s most valuable player when it comes attracting mainstream attention.
