Nelly Korda did not win in 2025 but found something important

Engagement is an important way to close Korda Season 2025. While a win eluded her this year, she put together one of the LPGA Tour’s most consistent campaigns, finishing the season without a missed cut. She posted nine top-10 finishes, including seven top-5s, highlighted by a strong third-place finish at the CME Group Tour Championship.
While a win eluded her in 2025, Korda noted that the winless campaign reinforced the importance of having a close group of people around you to lean on when things aren’t going your way.
“I would say you get a lot more criticism when you’re at the top of your game and having a tight circle, you’re very grateful for the people around you,” Korda said. “The circle gets a little smaller, but I think I have a great circle. I would say I’m extremely, extremely lucky for the people I have around me. At the end of the day, the life we live and perform in front of people, it’s extremely important to have that stability in your life.”
With an incredible season of consistent performance behind her and a joyous personal milestone to celebrate, Korda ends 2025 on a high note – both on and off the course. Fans and fellow athletes alike will be watching with anticipation as she looks ahead to what promises to be another exciting chapter in her life and career.
