AMERICAN world number one Nelly Korda has clinched the LPGA’s points-based Player of the Year award with three events left in the 2024 season, the top women’s professional golf circuit said on Monday.
The 26-year-old Korda has claimed six victories in 2024 and had three additional top-10 finishes. At one point during the year Korda won five consecutive tournaments, a run she capped by securing her second major title.
Korda, who missed the fall Asian swing due to a minor neck injury, also represented the United States in the women’s golf competition at the Paris Olympics and was part of the winning team at the Solheim Cup. — Reuters
