Nelly Korda will be setting her sights on a third career major championship win this week at The Chevron Championship.
Korda won The Chevron Championship in 2024, three years after claiming her maiden title at the 2021 Womenâs PGA Championship.
Her form puts her among the favorites for success at Memorial Park, which plays host to the opening major of the 2026 season.
And Korda has boosted her chances further by skipping last weekâs JM Eagle LA Championship, despite the clear rewards on offer.
When asked what sheâs done well in the early stages of the LPGA Tour season, Korda said: âWhat have I done well?
âI would say the work that Iâve put in on my body, making sure that my schedule is planned out well.
âSo instead of letâs say going to JM Eagle because I know letâs say itâs a higher purse, instead I just took that week off, made sure that I rested my body.
âI made sure that after those three weeks that I played in a row I gave the first couple days at home my body a complete break.
âI didnât touch a club for about four days. I was in the gym and I made sure that my mind was refreshed.â
Such an approach should pay off for the American, who has been one of the standout players of the season so far.
She boasts one win from her four starts, and has finished either second or tied-second in her other three appearances.
Smart scheduling has been crucial to her fantastic results, which she now looks like she will be able to continue in Houston.
Nelly Korda has won two major championships: The Chevron Championship in 2024 and the Womenâs PGA Championship in 2021.
The Chevron Championship is being held at Memorial Park in 2026.
Nelly Korda's strong recent form and previous success at the tournament make her one of the favorites for the championship.
