Nelly Korda Loyalists Bury Protests From Lydia Ko Fans As ‘Player of the Year’ Debate Finally Gets Resolved

What an exceptional run Nelly Korda had in the 2024 LPGA Tour season. She managed to bag a total of six wins in just a year, five of which were consecutive. And of course, not to forget that her worst finish too was in the top 30. She finished at T26 in the Amundi Evian Championship.

Nelly Korda took a break after the Kroger Queen City Championship in September and was set to return in October with the BMW Ladies Championship. However, she faced a neck injury during the practice round and could not make it to the Fall Asian swing of the Tour. But this absence did not dampen her accolades.

On November 3, as the 2024 TOTO Japan Classic concluded, Nelly Korda was announced as the 2024 Rolex Player of the Year.

She became the second consecutive American to earn the award after Lilia Vu clinched it last year. “Winning the Rolex Player of the Year means so much to me,” said Korda on receiving the award.

“This season has had its highs and challenges, and I’m just really grateful for the people around me who have helped me get here. It’s been a team effort, and I’m proud to share this moment with them.” The LPGA Tour also posted a picture of her posing with the trophy.
