Nelly Korda aims to secure her first victory in a season of high parity with a $4 million prize at the LPGA Tour Championship, impacting player-of-the-year and money race.
- On Wednesday, Nelly Korda said she has one more week to try for a win as she plays the CME Group Tour Championship, the LPGA season finale.
- Last year, Korda won seven times and was the dominant figure, potentially becoming the first since Tiger Woods in 2010 to go from seven wins to none the next year.

- Jeeno Thitikul and Miyuu Yamashita are the only players with multiple wins this year, with Yamashita securing rookie of the year and a major, while Thitikul surpasses Korda in rankings.
