American golfer Nelly Korda has been named the LPGA Player of the Year for the second time in her career, the tour announced on November 3, 2026. The award recognizes the most outstanding player of the season based on a points system that rewards wins, top-10 finishes, and scoring average.
Korda, currently ranked among the world's top players, previously won the honor in 2021. Her latest selection follows a season that included multiple victories and consistent high finishes across LPGA Tour events.
The Player of the Year award is one of the LPGA's most prestigious season-long honors, joining the Vare Trophy for scoring average and the Race to the CME Globe championship as the tour's major annual awards.
