Nelly Korda dominates Chevron Championship 2026
Digest more
The LPGA Tour's first major of the 2026 season, the Chevron Championship, wrapped up Sunday at Memorial Park Golf Course, where Nelly Korda emerged on top with a $1.35 million payday.
Officials with the LPGA and the Chevron Championship made news earlier this week when they announced that the prize money payout for the year’s first women’s major championship was increasing to $9 million.
While Korda's victory at Memorial Park was significant, there were also victories for the circuit, which saw more robust weekend galleries.
Nelly Korda can now call herself a three-time major champion after her win at The Chevron Championship on Sunday. Korda’s sensational play during the first two rounds made it almost impossible for the likes of Patty Tavatanakit to catch her over the weekend at Memorial Park.
