Nelly Korda is a major champion once again, having just claimed The Chevron Championship title at Memorial Park.

Korda is now a three-time major winner, with the American star having also won the Women’s PGA Championship throughout her fantastic career.

She’s already on two wins for the 2026 season, having made only five starts, and has just returned to world number one following her latest efforts.

But Korda has no time at all to celebrate her win at The Chevron Championship, with the 27-year-old now set to continue her busy LPGA Tour campaign in Mexico.

Nelly Korda takes opposite approach to Rory McIlroy after The Chevron Championship win

Korda has already touched down for the Riviera Maya Open, which takes place this week at El Camaleon Golf Course at Mayakoba.

Intriguingly, Korda has adopted the exact opposite approach from PGA Tour star Rory McIlroy, who won the first men’s major championship of 2026.

In fact, the Northern Irishman has not made an appearance since winning The Masters at Augusta National earlier this month.

He has been spending time away from competitive golf, but Korda has decided to try and continue her stunning momentum.

The LPGA icon has made five of five cuts this season, and has remarkably finished in the top two in all five tournaments.
