When Is Nelly Korda Playing Next After Ending Her Solheim Cup Drought?

Nelly Korda, after a standout performance at the Solheim Cup, is now turning her focus toward the Kroger Queen City Championship, scheduled for September 19-22 at TPC River’s Bend in Cincinnati, Ohio. Korda was instrumental in Team USA’s victory, ending her Solheim Cup drought and helping her team reclaim the title after three editions.

Despite losing her singles match to Europe’s Charley Hull, Korda’s performance throughout the tournament was pivotal, particularly during the afternoon four-ball session, where her sharp play gained 7.5 strokes on the field, an impressive feat by any standard.

Korda’s 2024 season has been one of growth and resilience, with marked improvements in key aspects of her game, particularly her driving accuracy and mental toughness. Known for her strong drives, Korda has worked to refine her consistency, and her performance at the Solheim Cup demonstrated her ability to find fairways under pressure.

Her focus and resilience have also strengthened, as seen in her ability to navigate challenging situations during the tournament. As the competition heats up at the Kroger Queen City Championship, Korda will face a strong field, including other top contenders like Lydia Ko, Rose Zhang, and Yuka Saso, making for an exciting battle for the title.
