Breaking News: Korda Reflects on Season, Comments on Slow Play

Nelly Korda, one of the top stars in women’s golf, recently took a moment to reflect on her 2024 season while also sharing her thoughts on the ongoing issue of slow play in the sport. The 25-year-old, who has racked up multiple wins and remains a mainstay in the LPGA’s top rankings, opened up about the highs and lows of her year, as well as her frustrations with pace of play on tour.

In an exclusive interview following her participation in the 2024 season-ending event, Korda expressed satisfaction with her performance overall, though she acknowledged areas where she could improve. “I’ve had some really great moments this year, but I’m always striving to get better,” Korda said. “It’s about consistency, and that’s something I’m focusing on going into next year.”

The highlight of Korda’s season was her victory at the prestigious *Chevron Championship*, one of the major titles that continues to solidify her place as one of the best in the game. However, despite her success, she admits that the journey wasn’t without its challenges. “I dealt with a lot of injuries earlier in the year, which slowed me down a bit. But I’m happy to be back to full health, and I feel like I’m in a good place now,” she shared.

But aside from the personal aspect of her season, Korda also weighed in on a topic that’s been hotly debated among golfers: slow play. In recent months, the issue of slow play has become more prominent, with players and fans alike expressing frustration over delays during tournaments. “Slow play is something that definitely needs to be addressed more seriously,” Korda said. “We all know the importance of respecting each other’s time, and it’s a shame when it affects the flow of a tournament.”

Korda pointed out that while she personally tries to keep up a good pace, it’s often difficult when players or groups ahead take too long. She called on both players and officials to implement stricter penalties and guidelines to speed up the game. “We need to make sure the players are held accountable,” she added. “It’s a team effort. Everyone has to buy in.”

As Korda prepares for the 2025 season, she remains focused on maintaining her competitive edge, tackling the slow play issue head-on, and continuing to inspire the next generation of golfers. With a packed schedule ahead, the 2021 Olympic gold medalist is determined to leave her mark on the game both on and off the course.
