Nelly Korda Wins Big, Marches Toward Golf Immortality
Nelly Korda is on the cusp of golf immortality with 19 wins, including four major championships, and an Olympic gold medal.
Korda's impressive resume is built on her ability to perform under pressure, with a 2024 season that earned her one of the most undebatable Player of the Year awards ever.
She has won seven times on the LPGA Tour, including an extraordinary stretch of five consecutive victories and a second major championship at the Chevron Championship.
The LPGA Hall of Fame is one of the most difficult halls of fame to reach in professional sports, with a strict set of on-course achievements and a points system that requires 27 points for induction.
Korda has accumulated points quickly, earning nine in 2024 alone, and now finds herself knocking on the door of the Hall of Fame.
After claiming her long-awaited U.S. Women's Open title, Korda is playing with freedom and maturity, and her march toward the Hall of Fame is accelerating.
With 10 points collected from 2018 to 2023, and nine more in 2024, Korda is rapidly approaching the 27 points needed for induction.
Her first win came in October 2018 at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship, with caddie Jason McDede on the bag.
Korda's breakout year was 2021, when she claimed her first major championship, earned Olympic gold, reached World No. 1, and won three other LPGA titles.
The World No.1 is not only the face of the LPGA but is also etching her name into history forever.
Only 34 women have been named to the Tour's Hall of Fame, with 23 playing their way in via the criteria and 11 granted honorary admission.
Lydia Ko was the most recent player to be inducted via the criteria.
Korda's dominant 2024 season has put her in a strong position to join the Hall of Fame soon.
As the World No.1 continues to play with freedom and maturity, her fans are eagerly awaiting her next move.
With her impressive resume and rapid accumulation of points, Nelly Korda is on track to become one of the greatest golfers of all time.
