Nelly Korda has claimed both the Rolex Player of the Year and Annika Major Award following her exceptional 2024 LPGA Tour season. The 26-year-old World No.1 secured seven tournament victories, including her second Major at the Chevron Championship.

Korda's remarkable season included:

• Five consecutive tournament wins
• Second Major title at the Chevron Championship
• $4.2 million in prize money
• Victory at The ANNIKA at Pelican (season's final regular event)
• Strong Major performances: T2 at AIG Women's Open, T26 at Evian Championship

"It's been crazy, it's been such a fun year, full of ups and downs, but I am so, so grateful for my team," said Korda after receiving the awards at Tiburon Golf Club, ahead of the CME Group Tour Championship season finale.

Her Player of the Year victory marks the second consecutive win for American players, following Lilia Vu's success last year. This achievement represents the first back-to-back American winners since Betsy King and Beth Daniel in 1993-94.

Additionally, Lydia Ko received the Heather Farr Perseverance Award after securing three wins, including the AIG Women's Open and Olympic gold in Paris. Ko described her 2024 season as "a fairytale."
