Nelly Korda, the reigning Chevron Champion, is making waves ahead of this year's major. She revealed that she didn't get any tips from PGA Tour players before the start — despite the tournament taking place on the same course as a recent PGA Tour event.
Her reasoning? Simple, but blunt: "No, I haven't spoken to any PGA Tour players... I didn't watch much of the event," Korda stated on Tuesday at her press conference at Memorial Park GC. So, it was less about secrecy and more about simply not having the time to closely watch the guys.
Korda on the Title Hunt
The world-class golfer is having a strong year and arrives at the Chevron Championship as the defending champion. With one victory and three runner-up finishes in her recent record, she's in top form. Now she has her third major in sight, and the bar is set high.
Pressure in the Spotlight
Korda made it clear in her discussions that the pressure at such a level is immense. She drew parallels to top tennis player Coco Gauff and spoke openly about the emotional challenges that elite sports entail. Winning a major isn't just a battle against the course and the competition, but often against oneself.
Will Nelly Korda ultimately secure her third major victory, or will the lack of course preparation become a factor? We're excited to see when the Chevron Championship kicks off and the drama on the green begins!
