Nelly Korda won for a second time at The Chevon Championship last week, and with her major count increasing to three, now seems as good as any to look at where she stands on the LPGA Tour’s career wins list.
Korda still remains well behind Kathy Whitworth’s record 88 LPGA wins but she is now tied for 31st on the all-time list along with Meg Mallon and Hollis Stacy after winning in Mayakoba on Sunday.
It had been almost two decades since a player won back-to-back weeks on the LPGA Tour by five or more strokes. The last time was in 2008 by Lorena Ochoa.
It was Korda’s third win this season, as she claims her 23rd point toward the LPGA Hall of Fame. This year also marks the third time she’s had three or more victories in a season (2021 and 2024 being the others).
Here’s the top 10 among career LPGA wins and what the active list looks like:

Most majors in LPGA history
Berg is the LPGA’s leader in major championship titles with 15.
Berg’s winning span ranged from 1937 through 1958, the longest of any of her peers. She finished with two more than Wright, who won 13 majors from 1958 through 1966.
Suggs won 11, while Sorenstam and Zaharias captured 10 majors.
Active players with most major wins
Tseng has five major wins but none since 2011. A four-way tie exists for second place among active players as Lydia Ko, Korda, Lee and Anna Nordqvist all have three major wins.
What is the record for most LPGA tournaments without a major?
Twenty-seven career wins on the LPGA Tour is the record for most without a major victory. That distinction belongs to Jane Blalock.
Blalock also went on to make the cut at a record 299 consecutive tournaments in her career.
