World No. 1 Nelly Korda was crowned the 2024 LPGA Player of the Year for the first time in her career. While the PGA Tour decides its counterpart based on votes, the LPGA Tour has always preferred the points system.
All players are required to have a top-10 finish in LPGA Tour events to earn points. Major championships offer double the points. Korda was ahead of her next competition, the 2022 awardee Lydia Ko, by quite a margin.
Despite not playing in the Asian series of the LPGA Tour due to a neck injury, the American golfer's incredible run this season was more than enough. Korda won six titles this year, five of which were consecutive, and picked up her second Major win at the Chevron Championship in Texas.
