Nelly Korda Contending for Seventh 2024 Title at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican
in her three previous starts, she won twice in 2021 and 2022 and then tied for 25th in 2023. After all of that prior success and considering this venue’s similarities to her home course, Concession Golf Club, the Bradenton, Fla.
native knows exactly how to tackle this challenging venue, something that has proven to be an advantage for Korda over her years competing at this event on the LPGA Tour schedule.
“Just knowing that there are more opportunities out there that I can capitalize on some of the holes that I have maybe a little wedge in if I do hit it good off the tee,” said Korda when asked how she has managed to bounce back from slow starts this week. “I’ve played this golf course, this is my fourth year.
I know the golf course now. I know I can bounce back even if I do make some mistakes on the harder holes.”
Korda will be battling it out alongside Weiwei Zhang and Charley Hull in the final group on Sunday as she works to make more history at Pelican Golf Club, the latter of whom the Rolex Rankings No. 1 has a history with.
Korda and Hull have teed it up together numerous times throughout their careers in various LPGA Tour events, but the pair’s last head-to-head battle came just a couple of months ago in mid-September at the 2024 Solheim Cup.
Their respective captains sent Korda and Hull out in the first match of Sunday singles at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, and it was ultimately Hull who got the upper hand, defeating the American by an impressive 6-and-4 margin in Gainesville, Va. While Korda enjoys playing with Hull and considers the Englishwoman to be a friend, she is still looking to outdo her in the final round of The ANNIKA as she works to collect her first LPGA Tour victory since May, a win that could be considered a bit of payback from that Solheim Sunday.
But if things don’t shake out in Korda’s favor this week, she will have another shot at history next week at the CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburón Golf Club, one that could wind up being two-fold with a $4 million winner’s check up for grabs.
However, even with what is to come, Korda will have her mind on just one thing on day four at Pelican Golf Club – winning – and will be doing everything in her power to add a third ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican trophy to her ever-growing collection of LPGA Tour hardware on Sunday afternoon.
