Nelly Korda: The Uncontested Queen of the LPGA Tour 2023

Nelly Korda is poised to claim the LPGA Tour Player of the Year title, rendering other contenders' chances slim. Her six wins this season include a major victory, drawing much attention to the LPGA. The award decision, currently based on a points system, sparks discussions on subjective player voting.

Nelly Korda appears to have secured the LPGA Tour Player of the Year title, thanks to a remarkable season with six victories, including a major win at The Chevron Championship. Her remarkable feat of five consecutive wins has drawn significant attention to the LPGA, making her a clear frontrunner under the current points system.

Meanwhile, fellow players Lydia Ko, Ayaka Furue, and Haeran Ryu face near insurmountable challenges to contest Korda's position. Ko's own impressive performance, capped with a gold medal in Paris and wins including the Women's British Open at St. Andrews, highlights the competitive spirit of the tour.

The points-based award system has been debated, with advocates for a player vote pointing to the PGA Tour, where players like Scottie Scheffler have seen surprising victories despite differing win records. The Golf Writers Association of America will weigh in through a vote at the end of the year.
