The American golf superstar held her nerve under intense pressure at Riviera Country Club to seal her second major title of the season, further cementing her dominance on the LPGA Tour. Korda’s latest triumph also marked her fourth LPGA Tour victory of 2026 and the fourth major championship title of her career.
England’s Charley Hull pushed Korda all the way in pursuit of a maiden major title, while Gaby Lopez also mounted a strong late challenge to stay firmly in contention until the closing holes. However, Korda once again showcased why she remains the top-ranked player in women’s golf, delivering clutch shots in the decisive moments to secure the championship.
The victory adds another remarkable chapter to what is already becoming one of the standout seasons in modern women’s golf. After already winning a major earlier in the year, Korda has now established herself as the player to beat heading into the remainder of the 2026 campaign.
Speaking after the win, Korda celebrated a hard-fought success that further strengthens her legacy in the sport. Her consistency, composure, and ability to perform under pressure have continued to separate her from the rest of the field throughout the season.
For Hull, the result represents another painful near miss in a major championship despite an impressive performance across the tournament. Lopez also earned widespread praise after remaining in the title race deep into the final round.
With four LPGA Tour victories already in 2026 and another major trophy added to her growing collection, Nelly Korda’s dominance in women’s golf shows no signs of slowing down.
