Nelly Korda is named the 2026 Rolex LPGA Player of the Year for a second time in her career, according to multiple outlets. Coverage says the award comes after a standout season marked by repeated high-level results and a return to the top of the sport.
All three sources link the honor to four wins in the year, including two major titles. NDTV also describes the season as a dominant bounce-back and adds that Korda returns to world number one. Yahoo Sports and the Winnipeg Free Press emphasize not only the Player of the Year win but also that it brings her closer to an LPGA Hall of Fame milestone.
