‘Luckiest’ Nelly Korda Ticks Off Yet Another Massive LPGA Milestone and Fans Can’t Get Enough: ‘Hell of a Year’
Nelly Korda’s 2024 season will undoubtedly go down in history as one of her most impressive campaigns to date.
The 26-year-old golf sensation notched an astonishing seven LPGA Tour victories, including her second Major title, and added four more top-10 finishes to her already remarkable record. Since reclaiming the World No. 1 ranking in March, a position she has held at least once every year since 2021, Korda has consistently demonstrated her exceptional skill and dedication to the sport.
Korda’s remarkable performance this season is all the more impressive considering the challenges she faced along the way. A brief slump in the summer saw her miss three consecutive cuts, and a neck injury forced her to miss two LPGA starts last month.
Despite these setbacks, Korda persevered and continued to showcase her exceptional shot-making and overall performance. Statistics from KPMG Performance Statistics provide insight into Korda’s transformation, revealing that she played 67 rounds in 2023 but only 53 rounds this year.
Korda’s streamlined schedule this season
Korda’s streamlined schedule this season may reflect a more focused and efficient approach, but it wasn’t entirely by design. Her reduced number of events was partly due to the neck injury that forced her to miss two LPGA starts. Nevertheless, Korda’s impressive performance has earned her numerous accolades.
Today, the golfer celebrated her 8th year on the LPGA Tour. Reflecting on her journey, she expressed heartfelt gratitude to those who have supported her along the way.
“The people in my life make me feel like the luckiest person in the world. Grateful, grateful, grateful,” she said in an Instagram post. She also extended a special thank you to Terry Duffy, acknowledging his remarkable vision, belief, and commitment to the LPGA.
“We have so much to thank you for,” she added.

Golf fans are notorious for being, shall we say, discerning. No matter how impressive a player’s skills or achievements are, there’s always something to criticize. But in a surprising twist, even the most skeptical golf enthusiasts can’t help but rave about Nelly Korda’s latest endeavor. “The year of Nelly!!! ”, said one fan, and well, it indeed is. We mean, she has 7 astonishing wins this year, for crying out loud!
Another fan said what must be going on in everyone’s mind, “Nelly, congratulations. Hell of a year!’” while the other said “Lucky to be witnessing your greatness ” and well, we surely are.
The victories are all there is to her glory this year, the golfer had many achievements besides them as well, including the 2024 Rolex Player of the Year and Annika Major Award, and fans believe that she has, “Earned it! ”
Many of us don’t know the hard work and effort it takes to maintain a body capable of withstanding the rigors of professional golf.
Her regimen includes Bulgarian Split Squats, which she does with a looped band and 26-pound weights in each hand, to keep her legs strong and grounded. She also does Seated Underhand Rows to strengthen her mid traps and aid in a powerful turn of the thoracic spine.
