Nelly Korda Takes Lead in Rolex ANNIKA Major Award Standings

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, April 21, 2024 – Following her victory at The Chevron Championship at The Club at Carlton Woods, Nelly Korda has taken the lead in the 2024 Rolex ANNIKA Major Award standings. The major championship win is Korda’s fifth straight title, tying Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam for most consecutive LPGA Tour wins since 1978. The victory is the 13th of her LPGA Tour career and her second major title. Korda is the third player to win The Chevron Championship as World No. 1 since the inception of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings in 2006, joining Lorena Ochoa (2006) and Lydia Ko (2016).

After becoming a major champion for the first time at the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Korda finished second in the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award standings that season, just two points back of Patty Tavatanakit.

Points will be awarded at all five major championships to competitors who finish among the top-10 and ties.
