The ‘great’ putting drill used by Nelly Korda which amateur golfers could copy to improve their own game

Nelly Korda has enjoyed a stunning career on the LPGA Tour, with two major championship wins among her achievements.

Korda most recently took on the Women’s PGA Championship, where she finished T19 as Minjee Lee clinched the title.

The American boasts 15 career wins on the LPGA Tour, seven of which arrived last season, much like Scottie Scheffler on the PGA Tour.

Korda loved watching the men’s US Open earlier this month, where Scheffler finished T7 as J.J. Spaun lifted the trophy.

The women’s ace is yet to win on the LPGA Tour in 2025, but Korda does have four top 10 finishes to her name.

She’s also made all 10 cuts so far, with Korda impressing with her approach play throughout the 2025 season.

But the PGA of America have just shared insight into another key area of her game, documenting one of her favourite putting drills.

Explaining the drill on X, Lindsay Pitts of the PGA noted: “Nelly’s dominant hand putting drill is a great way for golfers to build feel, control, and consistency.

“It helps train the trail hand to lead the stroke naturally, promoting better tempo and smoother acceleration through the ball. It also helps eliminate a jabby or rushed motion, making it easier to keep the putter face square.

“This is a great drill to add into your practice because over time it sharpens your touch and gives you a clearer sense of how the putter should move through impact.”

Keeping her head down throughout the repetitive drill in which she sinks every putt, Korda putts with her right arm, with her left arm off the club, pointing down.

What are Nelly Korda’s 2025 LPGA Tour putting stats?

Korda hasn’t quite managed to hit the heights she did in 2024 so far this season, with putting perhaps an area she will be keen to improve on.

The world number one currently ranks T40 for average putts per round, with her figure of 29.57 well behind the 28.24 of leader Muni He, although Korda has hit almost twice as many putts as her fellow player.

But while she ranks first for Strokes Gained, Strokes Gained off the tee and birdie percentage, she’s also behind her competitors in other areas on the green.

There is, however, absolutely no need for panic around the American superstar, who is certain to return to winning ways very soon.
