The 25-year-old has won a record-tying five straight tournament starts. She has the No. 1 ranking in the world, along with the 2024 lead in earnings, scoring average and points for the player of the year award. And on top of it all, she got to live out a childhood dream by walking the red carpet at the Met Gala earlier this week.

USA's Nelly Korda

In winning her second career major two weeks ago, Korda tied Hall of Famers Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez for most consecutive tournament wins. Byron Nelson holds golf’s all-time mark with 11 straight wins in 1945. “There is two sides to it,” she said. “Obviously when I’m home, I’m definitely practicing a lot more and trying to work on technique. When I’m out here, the way I keep it simple is by not overdoing it too much. Going out, seeing the golf course, doing my work with my caddie, picking a game plan, and then that’s it.”
