Nelly Korda is on the cusp of achieving a Career Grand Slam, a feat that would cement her status as one of the greatest golfers of all time. With her recent win at the U.S. Women’s Open, Korda has set herself up for multiple bids at the Career Grand Slam this summer, having already won the Chevron Championship and KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
The Road to the Career Grand Slam
The LPGA Tour recognizes a Career Grand Slam as having won four different majors, but with the Evian becoming a major in 2013, there are now five majors. Korda’s best finish at the Evian to date is T8 four years ago, and she has the longest active streak of making the cut at major championships with 10. She has only missed one cut at the Evian specifically once in 9 total starts.
A win this week would not only bring Korda closer to the Career Grand Slam but also give her the necessary points for inclusion in the LPGA Hall of Fame, making her the first player to be inducted since Lydia Ko in 2024. According to FanDuel, Korda is the betting favorite at +440, with Jeeno Thitikul being the next closest challenger at +1000.
