Top-ranked Nelly Korda, trying to win her eighth LPGA title of the season, will be the favorite when the season-ending Tour Championship begins on Thursday.
The 26-year-old American has already clinched her spot as LPGA Player of the Year and she could break the one-season LPGA winnings record in the $11 million event at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida.
“It has been a crazy year,” Korda said. “I’m grateful for all of it. I’m grateful for the highs, grateful for the lows, grateful to be doing what I love in front of people hopefully inspiring the next generation.”
The top 60 LPGA players in the season points chase qualified for the season finale in Southwest Florida.
Korda had eight wins for her LPGA career heading into this season and quickly padded that total by winning January’s Drive On Championship in her hometown of Bradenton, Florida. She added the Pak Se-ri and Ford championships in March and the LPGA Match Play and Chevron Championship, her second major win, in April.
Korda captured the Americas Open in May and last week’s Annika crown to reach $4,164,430 in prize money this season and can set a new LPGA one-season mark with a top-five finish this week. Mexico’s Lorena Ochoa was the most recent player to capture eight LPGA titles in a campaign, doing so in 2007, and she set an LPGA prize money record of $4,364,994 that year.
