Nelly Korda certainly deserves a rest after a stunning 2024 LPGA Tour season in which she won seven titles.

Korda shot in the 60s in 63.2% of her rounds throughout the season, representing golfing history from the American star.

The LPGA Tour Player of the Year award unsurprisingly went her way, with Korda finishing her season in T5 at the CME Group Tour Championship.

Korda has complained about slow play on the LPGA Tour, but she can have very few complaints elsewhere thanks to her achievements on the course this season.

Just before the CME Group Tour Championship, the world number one clinched her seventh success of 2024 at The ANNIKA.

Nelly Korda confirms the next tournament she will play

The American has since looked back on her achievements, as well as revealing which tournament is up next in her exciting career.

Assessing how she finished the season, Korda told Golf Channel: “Yeah I’m proud of myself, I’m proud of the entire team. Definitely wanted to play a little better out here this week in front of my friends and family, but proud of the way I played this year and proud of the fightback that I also had today.”

And sharing her off-season plans, she added: “Yeah I’ll see you guys soon at Grant Thornton Invitational and then I’m playing the following week with my dad at the PNC so, exciting couple of weeks ahead. But I’m going to put the clubs away for a few days and just kind of reminisce a little on the season.”

LPGA Tour confirms record prize money for 2025 season

Korda doesn’t look like slowing down anytime soon, with the world number one clearly keen on keeping her eye in.

A well-earned rest will take place, but it does look like being a brief one as players already start to look towards the 2025 season.

An LPGA Tour record prize money of over $131million has been confirmed for next year, up approximately 90% from 2021.

And Korda will be eager to dominate the tour once more, having just missed out on the $4million prize at the CME Group Tour Championship.

Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul emerged victorious at the season-finale in Florida, taking home the largest prize money in the history of women’s golf.
