Is Nelly Korda playing in the 2024 Kroger Queen City Championship? All you need to know
Yes, Nelly Korda will be participating in the 2024 Kroger Queen City Championship, set to take place from September 19 to 22 in Maineville, Ohio. This marks her 14th event on the LPGA Tour this season. The tournament boasts a purse of $2 million, with $300,000 going to the winner.
Korda is among 144 players set to compete, alongside defending champion Minjee Lee. Following this event, Korda is scheduled to compete in three additional LPGA tournaments: the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea, the ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, and the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida.
Korda enters the Kroger Queen City Championship following a successful showing at the 2024 Solheim Cup, where she helped Team USA defeat Europe with a score of 15.5-12.5. Although she won three of her four matches, she lost her singles match against Charley Hull.
Throughout the 2024 season, Korda has secured six wins, including a victory at the Chevron Championship, and currently holds the No. 1 spot in the Race to CME Globe standings. With her stellar performance this year, Korda is expected to be a strong contender at the Kroger Queen City Championship.
