Nelly Korda is on the doorstep of the LPGA Hall of Fame, though she claims she doesn’t know how close she really is. To earn a spot in the LPGA Hall of Fame, 27 points must be accumulated, and Korda is two points shy.
Pursuing Rare Heights
Korda could collect those two points with a victory at this weekend’s major, the Women’s PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. She has already won four major championships, including two in a row in 2026, and is the World No. 1.
Only two women in the history of the game have won three straight majors in a single season, and Korda can join Inbee Park (2013) and Babe Zaharias (1950) in achieving the same. Moreover, the LPGA requires four different majors won to qualify for the sport’s grand slam, despite now boasting five tournaments it calls majors.
Korda needs a victory at either the Women’s British Open or Evian Championship to reach that milestone. But Korda refuses to yield to the pressure of the moment, likely helped by the fact that she will have another major to compete in later this season while continuing her pursuit of the Hall of Fame.
