Nelly Korda, one of the brightest stars in women’s golf, is back on the LPGA tour, and her return is generating great anticipation among fans. The American golfer announced that she will participate in two iconic tournaments in the United States, starting with the Fortinet Founders Cup, which will take place from March 19 to 22 at the Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club in Menlo Park, California. Korda, who recently ended a title drought by winning the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, decided to take a break after that success, but she is now ready to resume her quest for more victories.
“I’m excited to be back on the course and compete again. The Fortinet Founders Cup is always a special event and I can’t wait to see what I can do this season,” Korda said, revealing her determination and focus. In addition to Korda, the competition will feature Jeeno Thitikul, the current world number one, who is also committed to competing in both tournaments. The number three ranked player, Charley Hull, will only participate in the Ford Championship, which will take place from March 26 to 29 at the Whirlwind Golf Club in Chandler, Arizona.
The LPGA season kicked off in style at the HGV Tournament of Champions, held at the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, where Korda showcased her talent with rounds of 68, 71, and 64, securing her 16th LPGA title and her first since the ANNIKA in 2024. Currently, the LPGA is taking place at the HSBC Women’s World Championship at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore, where, although Korda is not competing this week, the tournament features a star-studded field including Thitikul, Hull, and Lydia Ko. Thitikul arrives at the tournament after an impressive victory at the Honda LPGA Thailand, while Ko will attempt to defend her title.
Analyzing Nelly Korda’s performance in the 2025 season, we can see varied results that highlight her competitiveness. She finished in second place at the Grant Thornton Invitational with an impressive score of -25 and achieved a third-place finish at the CME Group Tour Championship with -20. Other highlights include a fifth-place finish at the Mizuho Americas Open and a notable position at the U.S. Women’s Open, where she finished second with -5. However, she also faced some challenges, such as a 66th place finish at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.
With her renewed determination and a schedule packed with competitions ahead, Nelly Korda is ready to fight for more titles and reaffirm her position among the best players in the world. Fans will be able to closely follow her journey in the coming months as she prepares to make her mark on the LPGA. What can we expect from the golfer? A burst of talent and an unwavering pursuit of new achievements.
