2024 Cognizant Founders Cup: Round 3 Tee Timings and Pairings

Two weeks after the LPGA Tour hosted its ninth tournament at Wilshire Country Club, the women’s circuit moved on to the Cognizant Founders Cup in New Jersey. The tournament kicked off on May 9 and is halfway through with just two days remaining. Meanwhile, out of the 144 golfers that teed it up on Thursday, only 72 remain.

Madelene Sagstrom is currently leading the scoreboard, alongside Rose Zhang holding a four-stroke advantage over Nelly Korda. Still, not to worry, as the 2024 Chevron Championship winner has ample time to shoot past the two and clinch the winner’s cut of $3 million. And moving day will undoubtedly decide how that turns out!

When will Nelly Korda tee off on Saturday at the Cognizant Founders Cup?

The 2023 LPGA Tour rookie has found herself at the top of the scoreboard alongside Sagstrom with a figure of 13-under owing to her 63-68 over the two days. Closely behind the two is Korda, who is aiming for a historic sixth straight win on the women’s circuit while becoming the first ever to do so. She had, through a victory at the major championship, joined the likes of Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez and secured five consecutive victories.

Sagstrom, meanwhile, will look to break her winless drought while raking in her second LPGA Tour win, the last of which came at the 2020 Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio. Following these three closely would be none other than Yan Liu at T4 with figures 68–70, who would be eyeing her first triumph on the circuit.
