Nelly Korda is still looking for her first LPGA Tour win this season.
Korda experienced an outstanding 2024 season on the LPGA Tour, winning seven events including one major championship victory.
However, it has been tough going for the world number one this year, with no wins to her name in 10 starts so far.
Korda has suffered with niggling injuries this season, so that could be one of the reasons why she’s winless in 2025.
She has made 10 cuts from the 10 events she has played, and has recorded four top-10 finishes including a T-2 at the Women’s US Open.
A victory has so far proven to be elusive though. Korda’s putting has really held her back this season, but all other departments of her game are in fine working order.
Two stats in particular make her struggles to win this season very hard to believe.
How Nelly Korda hasn’t won on the LPGA Tour this season is baffling
Korda’s swing is the envy of most professionals on the LPGA Tour.
Her power off the tee and her pinpoint iron play have both been key reasons behind her dominance in the game over the past couple of years.

So what is the real reason why she is still awaiting her first victory in 2025?
Well, it’s almost impossible to say. That’s because Korda has incredibly improved in both strokes gained total and scoring average in 2025.
In 2024, Korda gained 2.37 strokes on the field in total on average per round. Meanwhile, she averaged 70 shots per round.
And bizarrely, she has improved both of those stats to 2.47 strokes gained total and an average score of 69.57 this season.
Judging by those numbers, it’s only a matter of time before Korda wins, and wins big.
July is a huge month for the women, with the Amundi Evian Championship, the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open and the AIG Women’s Open all to come within the next three weeks.
Korda is more than deserving of a win, and it should surprise nobody if she secures a couple of victories over in Europe within the next month.
Nelly Korda’s 2025 LPGA Tour stats
The 26-year-old from Bradenton, Florida, has been in really impressive form this season.
Don’t let her lack of wins fool you, she is still very much on top of her game.
Here is how her numbers look from the 2025 season so far:
If Korda can just sharpen up her work around the greens and get her putter hot, it will only be a matter of time before she starts winning consistently on the LPGA Tour again.
And who would bet against her getting her first win in France at the Evian Resort Golf Club this week.
