Nelly Korda made history at the 2024 Chevron Championship by winning her fifth consecutive title, joining Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez as the only other players since 1978 to accomplish this feat. The tournament took place at Carlton Woods in Texas, with a purse of $7.9 million, an increase from $5.2 million in 2023. Korda earned the first-place prize of $1.2 million after shooting a total score of 13-under-par.
In the third round, Atthaya Thitikul held a narrow lead over Korda with a score of -11 after 12 holes, while Jin Hee Im was in third place at nine under through 11 holes. The tournament was halted due to storms before it could resume on Sunday.
Korda's victory came after a challenging journey, as she had dealt with injuries and setbacks since her first major title at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in 2021. She celebrated by cannonballing into a lake on the 18th green.
The Chevron Championship is expected to continue its trend of record-breaking prize money payouts, as all five of the tour's biggest individual events paid out record amounts in 2023. The title sponsorship for the tournament has been extended until 2029.
Even those who didn't make the cut received $10,000, up from $5,000 last year. A total of 78 golfers made the cut for this event.

The author makes several comparisons between Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler, implying that they are both dominating their respective tours. However, the author does not provide any specific evidence or reasoning to support the claim that Korda's dominance is 'not even close' to Scheffler's. This is an example of an exaggerated comparison fallacy.
Nelly Korda is dominating the LPGA Tour and it’s not even close
