Nelly Korda has been named the 2026 Rolex Player of the Year on the LPGA Tour, moving her within one point of qualifying for the LPGA Hall of Fame. The award recognizes the season's most outstanding performer based on a points system that factors in wins, major championships, and scoring average.
Korda's latest honor adds to a career that already includes multiple major titles and a stint as world number one. The LPGA Hall of Fame requires 27 points for induction, with players earning points for tournament victories, major wins, Player of the Year awards, and Vare Trophy honors for scoring average.
The announcement was made by the LPGA on November 4, 2026. Korda will need one additional point — achievable through a tournament win, another major championship, or a future Player of the Year award — to secure her place in the Hall of Fame.
