The LPGA 2023 season has concluded with Lilia Vu grabbing the Player of the Year Award and Amy Yang clinching the $7 million CME Group Tour Championship. However, Nelly Korda, on the other hand, could not get her hands on any title this year. 

Korda started her year with a 4th finish and ended the season with T8 at the year-ending championship in Naples. Now, as the players have gone to enjoy the comfort of their home, Korda shared her precious moments spent with a special being. 

Nelly Korda relishes the off time with cuddles

Nelly Korda has 9 top 10s in the LPGA 2023 season and won $1,397,796 in yearly earnings. On the offside, this was one of those dry years where Korda could not add any victories to her career on LPGA. Although the year was not what the American golfer expected, she ended it on a better note.

Korda performed exceptionally well at the CME Group Tour Championship and putted her career’s first $20,000 hole-in-one in the third round. After the fourth round, the 8x LPGA Tour champion had 18 under 270 and missed the $2 million winner’s purse. This was another top-10 finish for Korda for the 2023 season. 

After a year of all the hustle and bustle, the golfers have reached their homes for the off season. And Korda has been spotted enjoying her time off while cuddling with Jessica Korda’s beloved dog, Charlie DelPrete. The 1x major winner shared an adorable photo of herself embracing Charlie as they cuddled.

The American Pride had a winless 2023 year for LPGA. However, she had her maiden victory on the Ladies European Tour as she won the individual title at the Aramco Team Series in London. With the commencement of the 2024 season, Korda will hope to break her drought on the LPGA Tour and make more aces.

The ace was priced by Korda instead, it is the amount the LPGA Tour and CME Group will donate to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The CME Group has partnered with the Hospital and donates $20,000 for every ace made on the tour for a particular season.

The CME Group Cares Challenge–Score 1 for St. Jude has raised $3.2 million for the research since 2018. The Group has also extended its tenure with the LPGA Tour, hence the charitable challenge will continue 2024 season as well.
