How Many Times Has Nelly Korda Claimed World Number One Title?
Nelly Korda, the 26-year-old golfing prodigy, has secured the world number one ranking for the sixth time in her career following her recent victory at the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship. In a thrilling playoff against Ryann O’Toole, Korda clinched the title with a decisive birdie on the 18th hole, despite a tense finish that saw her drop two bogeys on the final holes of regulation.

This win, worth $300,000, marks Korda’s return to the top of the LPGA Tour rankings, a position she first achieved in 2021 after her triumph at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Korda’s path to the top has been a testament to her resilience and skill. After making her LPGA debut in 2017, it took her four years and five victories to reach the world number one spot for the first time. Despite a winless streak last season and a seven-month wait to reclaim her top ranking, Korda’s persistence paid off with her tenth career LPGA victory.

Her achievements not only highlight her remarkable career but also set a new benchmark in the LPGA, being the first to win two titles before April in the last decade. Reflecting on her success, Korda emphasizes the importance of the experiences gained through competition, showcasing her dedication and love for the game.
