Where Nelly Korda stands in LPGA Hall of Fame points

2026 is shaping up to be quite the year for Nelly Korda and she’s getting closer and closer to qualifying for the tour’s points-based Hall of Fame.

Korda won her third LPGA tournament of the year on Sunday at the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba by four strokes. She now sits with 23 points, just four away from becoming an LPGA Hall of Famer.

Last week, the 27-year-old won the third major title of her career at The Chevron Championship in Houston, Texas, by an impressive five strokes.

The 18-time tour winner earned her first victory in more than 14 months at the beginning of February at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, which was reduced to 54 holes because of weather. That pushed her total to 20 HOF points.

Korda won seven times in 2024 but was blanked the following year and is clearly on a mission to make up for lost time.

It currently takes 27 points to qualify for the LPGA Hall of Fame, which is different from the all-encompassing World Golf Hall of Fame (voter-based).

One point is given for each LPGA official tournament win and each Vare Trophy (lowest scoring average for a season) or Rolex Player of the Year award. Two points are awarded for each major victory and another point is given for an Olympic gold medal.

In addition to the necessary 27 points, players must have won or been awarded at least one of the following: an LPGA major, the Vare Trophy or Rolex POY honors.

Lydia Ko was the most recent player to achieve the tour’s highest honor, doing so in 2024 when she captured gold at the Paris Olympics. She became the 35th player to earn enough LGPA HOF points.

Here’s a breakdown of how Korda has achieved her total:
