Nelly Korda is currently enjoying a simply sensational start to her 2026 LPGA Tour season, which she has dominated so far.
Korda won the Riviera Maya Open last week, remarkably securing her third win in just six starts, arriving just after a major victory at The Chevron Championship.
And in her other three events, she has finished solo second twice and in a tie for second, highlighting her utter dominance of womenās golf right now.
Korda wants to keep getting better, which is a real warning to her fellow LPGA Tour players, who have unsurprisingly taken notice of her recent efforts.
That includes one-time major champion Michelle Wie West, who has been blown away by her fellow American Korda this season.
Ahead of her first round of this weekās Mizuho Americas Open, Wie West was asked for her thoughts on Kordaās run and how the LPGA Tour can take advantage of it.
She said: āYeah, sheās unbelievable. The talent that she possesses in her pinky alone is unbelievable. The stretch of golf⦠I mean, we saw it a couple seasons ago too, now.
āJust every year sheās getting better and better. She seems really happy off the golf course, which is what I care about.
āI hope mainstream media really picks it up more. I think the LPGA is doing a great job of showcasing our talent. The broadcast is⦠us being live every week is huge.
āAnd just I think just do everything we can to support her and just showcase her personality as well, too. You know, I think itās good.ā
Nelly Korda has won three tournaments in six starts this season, including the Riviera Maya Open and The Chevron Championship.
In addition to her three wins, Korda has finished solo second twice and tied for second in another event, showcasing her dominance.
Michelle Wie West praised Nelly Korda as 'unbelievable' for her impressive performance on the LPGA Tour.
Korda's strong start highlights her current dominance in women's golf, making her a key player to watch this season.

Among Kordaās stunning feats this season is a return to world number one, replacing Thai star Jeeno Thitikul.
Thitikul is also in the field for the Mizuho Americas Open at Mountain Ridge Country Club, where she is out to defend her title.
Sharing if she feels any less pressure after losing her number one ranking to Korda, she said of her title defence: āI think I donāt really have that pressure even before, now, or whatever, other players do.
āNelly had done a very good job for the past few months, from starting the season she won it and obviously she won it in Chevron and last week in Mexico, which she plays insane golf. She deserves to be back.
āFor me I do my job, do my part. I know what golf has in store for me right now, because like I donāt think my irons are going my way that much and I donāt think golf is going my way compared to last, you know, the end of the season last year.
āBut obviously itās the time that I really want to be myself more and then just let golf be more than controlling golf.
āSo I think itās just the time that⦠sometimes things not going your way but you have to accept it and then move on.ā
Thitikul enters the tournament with one win from her seven starts in 2026, having most recently missed the cut at The Chevron Championship.
Incidentally, Korda won the Mizuho Americas Open in 2024, which now represents one of 18 career titles for the LPGA superstar.
