As the season winds down, yet another tournament wraps up with a familiar sight—World No. 1 Nelly Korda standing tall at the top. But this time, The Annika wasn’t just another win for Korda; it was one of those victories—the kind people will talk about for years.

Making her first appearance in nearly two months after sidelining herself with a neck injury, Korda didn’t just return—she roared back, clinching her seventh win of the season. What a comeback, indeed! She ran off five straight birdies on the back nine to stage another Sunday comeback, closing with a 3-under 67 to add another victory to her already impressive resume.

But here’s where it gets really exciting: this win didn’t just add another trophy to her shelf—it brought her one step closer to LPGA history. Her prize money of $487,500 pushed her season earnings to $4,164,430, putting her within striking distance of Lorena Ochoa’s all-time single-season earnings record of $4,364,994, set with eight wins back in 2007. While she hasn’t broken the record yet, she’s certainly closing in on it.

And if that wasn’t enough, Korda also achieved something no one has done in over a decade. She became the first player to win seven times in a season since Yani Tseng in 2011—and the first American to do so since Beth Daniel in 1990. But what made this victory even more special wasn’t just the records or the comeback—it was the presence of her loved ones, cheering her on from the course.

So was this comeback all smooth sailing for Korda? Not exactly. In fact, it was far from it. She got off to a rough start and admitted she wasn’t exactly brimming with confidence after making the turn at 2-over for the day, two shots behind Charley Hull. But then, everything changed.

Starting with a birdie on No. 11, Korda showed her some of the remarkable shots, making five birdies in a row and pulling away to win by three shots.  

Even the final round wasn’t perfect. She had three bogeys and just one birdie over her first eight holes, leaving her chasing Hull and the others. But when it came to crunch time, she put on a show. “Nothing like being in the hunt, the adrenaline feeling on the back nine, and being in contention. I love it so much,” she said.

And while the comeback itself was thrilling enough, what made it truly unforgettable was the presence of someone special in the crowd—her brother, Sebastian Korda. A professional tennis player himself, Sebastian watched his sister close out her victory for the first time. “She’s absolutely fierce. She’s clutch,” he said proudly, after surprising her by arriving for the final three holes. “There is no one, I guess, who works harder than her.”

The win pushed Korda’s season earnings past $4 million, and now all eyes turn to the season finale at Tiburon Golf Club. With $11 million on the line at the CME Group Tour Championship, every player in the 60-woman field has a shot at one of the biggest prizes in women’s golf. So, will we see Korda claim her eighth victory of the season and maybe even rewrite the LPGA record books? With the way she’s been playing, it’s hard to bet against her. What do you think?
