Nelly Korda, who is the number one ranked women’s golfer in the world, posted a video on her Instagram stories on Friday of her practicing at the driving range. As reported by Golfweek, Korda is set to make her return to the LPGA Tour at the Ford Championship in Arizona at the end of March, a tournament that she won in 2024.
Korda is the world’s top ranked women’s golfer, according to the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, by a wide margin. Korda has 415.78 points, which is more than 140 points ahead of Thailand’s Atthaya “Jeeno” Thitikul.
That kind of margin is reminiscent of Tiger Woods during his prime, where he often had more than double the Official World Golf Ranking points of whoever was in second place at the time.
Nelly Korda aiming to recapture her 2024 success
The golf world awaits Nelly Korda’s return after she had a year of utter dominance in 2024, which saw her win seven LPGA Tour events, including one major at the Chevron Championship, which was her second major victory of her career.
Her victory at the Chevron Championship in April of last year was her fifth victory in a row, winning by two strokes over Maja Stark of Sweden at The Club at Carton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas.
Korda’s dominance last year earned her LPGA Tour Player of The Year honors, which was her first time winning the award. Her most recent victory came in November of 2024 at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican in Belleair, Florida, winning by three strokes.
