Korda captured her first Rolex Player of the Year honor in her ninth year as a professional
The LPGA Tour announced Monday that world No. 1 Nelly Korda has officially claimed the 2024 Rolex Player of the Year award with three events still remaining in the season. Only Ayaka Furue had an opportunity to catch the American down the stretch, but when she did not win the TOTO Japan Classic last weekend, Korda secured the honors.
The 26-year-old is the second straight American to win the award following in the footsteps of Lilia Vu last year. It marks the first time Americans have gone back-to-back since 1993-94. Korda is the 27th different individual to win the title since its debut in 1966.
"Winning the Rolex Player of the Year means so much to me," Korda said. "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."
