After Nailing What Scottie Scheffler Failed to Do, Nelly Korda Proves Why She Is a True Gem: ‘I’m Just the Player’

Nelly Korda has emerged as a shining star in the LPGA Tour, showcasing her dominance with a recent victory at the FORD Championship held at Seville Golf and Country Club. Korda, who secured her win by two strokes over rookie Hira Naveed, has now made history as the first player in eight years to win three consecutive starts, a record last held by Ariya Jutanugarn in 2016.

This achievement is a testament to her remarkable resilience, especially considering her challenges last season, where injuries disrupted her form. Reflecting on her struggles, Korda emphasized the importance of taking time off to reset, spending time with family, and finding balance outside the sport, which rejuvenated her for the 2024 season.

Korda’s humility shines through as she attributes her success to the support of her team, emphasizing that while she may be the one on the course, her victories are a collective effort. In a post-match conference, she expressed gratitude towards her family and support team, crediting them for their crucial role in her accomplishments.

With her 11th LPGA Tour win, Korda is not only proving her mettle on the course but also showing the grace and humility of a true champion. As she heads into the T-Mobile Match Play in Las Vegas, Korda’s current form makes her a formidable contender to continue her streak of victories.
