Nelly Korda Claims LPGA Awards Double After Seven-Win Season
Nelly Korda was handed the two top prizes at the LPGA Awards after a seven-win season including her second Major


Nelly Korda capped her best season on tour by claiming the top two prizes on offer at the 2024 LPGA Awards.
Unsurprisingly, the 26-year-old won both the Rolex Player of the Year and Annika Major Award - which is handed out to the Major champion that performed best in all five of the biggest events.
Korda claimed her second Major at the Chevron Championship as part of an amazing seven-win season where she claimed $4.2m in prize money.
"It's been crazy, it's been such a fun year, full of ups and downs, but I am so, so grateful for my team sitting right here," said Korda. "It's been an amazing year and I'm so grateful to be doing what I love."
The World No.1 had an incredible start to the season as she won five consecutive tournaments culminating in her second Major title, before going on to win six times in seven starts at the Mizuno Americas Open in June.
Korda than took a seventh trophy home in the final regular season event on the LPGA schedule - The ANNIKA at Pelican last week.
After being handed the trophies on the eve of the LPGA Tour's season finale at Tiburon Golf Club - the CME Group Tour Championship - Korda will hope to sign off the campaign with yet another victory.

And it would be a big one, as many of the best female golfers in the world go head-to-head one more time for a whopping $4 million and be crowned the Race To CME Globe Champion.
Nelly Korda's win at The Annika was her seventh of the year
Along with winning the Chevron, Korda finished tied for second at the AIG Women's Open, T26 at the Evian Championship but missed the cut at both the US Open and Women's PGA Championship.
Those results gave Korda the Annika Major Award for performances in the big five events - and yet more silverware to add to her overflowing trophy cabinet.
Korda following Lilia Vu's success last year means Americans have claimed back-to-back Player of the Year awards for the first time since 1993-94 with Betsy King and Beth Daniel.
Lydia Ko won the Heather Farr Perseverance Award after a three-win season including the AIG Women's Open in a stunning renaissance that also included taking Olympic gold in Paris.
"2024 has felt like a fairytale, one word, fairytale," said Ko. "I can't believe it, even now while looking at some of the highlights. I still get goosebumps."

Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website. Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
