Nelly Korda Eyes History: The Grand Slam Chase Is On
8 Jul
Summary
- Nelly Korda is competing for a Career Grand Slam this summer.
- A win would secure her spot in the LPGA Hall of Fame.
- She is the betting favorite with odds of +440.
Golfer Nelly Korda is vying for a historic Career Grand Slam this week at the Evian Championship, presenting her first chance to achieve this feat this summer. She previously secured victories at the Chevron Championship and the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
The LPGA Tour defines a Career Grand Slam as winning four distinct major championships. With the Evian Championship being one of the five majors, Korda has this event as an opportunity, with the Women's British Open as a subsequent chance if needed.
Beyond the Grand Slam, a win at the Evian would provide Korda with the necessary points for LPGA Hall of Fame induction, making her the first player inducted since Lydia Ko in 2024. Her previous best finish at the Evian is T8, achieved four years ago.
Korda maintains the longest active streak of making cuts at major championships, with 10 consecutive appearances. She has an impressive record at the Evian, only missing the cut once in nine starts. FanDuel lists her as the betting favorite at +440.
