Nelly Korda Wins LPGA Tour's Season-Opening Tournament of Champions (2026)

Nelly Korda triumphs in the LPGA Tour's season-opening Tournament of Champions, despite a shortened event due to cold weather. Korda's victory marks her first LPGA title in over a year, and she achieved it without even swinging a club on Sunday, as the championship was reduced to 54 holes due to harsh conditions in Florida. Korda's performance was exceptional, carding an eight-under 64 on Saturday to finish 13 under par for the tournament at Lake Nona. South Korea's Amy Yang was the closest competitor, three shots behind Korda with two holes to play on Sunday. Korda's victory is all the more impressive considering the challenging conditions, and she managed to secure her 16th LPGA Tour win, including her first at the season-opening event. Korda expressed her gratitude and pride in her performance, especially after a challenging 2025 season. The LPGA Tour now heads to Asia for the Honda LPGA Thailand, with the event taking place from February 19-22 at Siam Country Club and live on Sky Sports Golf. Get ready for more thrilling golf action!
