LPGA Tour makes unsurprising Nelly Korda announcement
Nelly Korda has been named as the LPGA Tour's 2024 Rolex Player of the Year.
Nelly Korda has been named the LPGA Tour’s 2024 Rolex Player of the Year following the greatest season of her career.
Korda, 26, becomes the second consecutive American to earn the Rolex Player of the Year following Lilia Vu in 2023.
She has won six times on the LPGA Tour in 2024, highlighted by a second career major title at The Chevron Championship, and the season is not yet over.
It is the first time that Americans have won the award in back-to-back years since Betsy King (1993) and Beth Daniel (1994).
Korda is the 27th different player to earn the award since its inception in 1966.
“Winning the Rolex Player of the Year means so much to me,” said Korda on receiving the award.
“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.”
