Hall of Famer Lydia Ko Towers Over World No.1 Nelly Korda Who Missed a Prestigious LPGA Tour List
Another day, another of Lydia Ko’s achievements! Time and again, the 27-year-old pro proved why she was fortunate to be one of the 35 women in the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame. With 22 LPGA Tour victories, including three majors and three Olympic medals, Ko has been a dominant force on the women’s circuit. Although her 2023 season was winless, she got her revenge in the current year.
In the 2024 season, Nelly Korda might have made more headlines, but Ko was not behind either. The South Korean native won three events this year and also lifted the AIG Women’s Open trophy. Since making her professional debut in 2014, the 22-time LPGA Tour winner leads one list because of her consistent performance. The LPGA Tour reported on Instagram that in the last decade, Ko is the only one to make the most bogey-free round with 134 rounds.
The second on the list is 2-time LPGA Tour winner Lizette Salas, who is 50 rounds behind Ko as she shot 84 bogey-free rounds. Honestly, it is a stunning record, and surprisingly, Korda is not even in the top 5 on the list. What makes Ko’s record better is that she posted 134 bogey-free rounds in 900 rounds, whereas, even on the PGA Tour, after playing 867 rounds, the highest bogey-free round was 78, accomplished by Hideki Matsuyama. Indeed, Ko remains one of the best golfers of the current era, and her undefeated demeanor shows it more than ever.
