Nelly Korda takes home first career LPGA Player of the Year Award after 6-win season
Nelly Korda has had a remarkable 2024 season. Thanks to her accomplishments, she won the Player of the Year award for the first time.
After an incredible spring that saw her win five consecutive tournaments and six overall, the LPGA has awarded World No. 1 Nelly Korda with its Rolex Player of the Year award for 2024.
It’s the first time Korda has earned this honor.
“Winning the Rolex Player of the Year means so much to me,” Korda said.
“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.”
Korda’s season began with a T-16 at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in her native Florida. She then went on to win her next five starts, including a victory at The Chevron Championship, the first major of the season. A tie for seventh at the Cognizant Founders Cup in early May ended her winning streak at five. But she got back to her winning ways the following week at Liberty National. She fended off Australian Hannah Green by a stroke, thus clinching win number six.
