Nelly Korda is still looking for her first LPGA Tour win this season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Korda<\/a> experienced an outstanding 2024 season on the LPGA Tour<\/a>, winning seven events including one major championship victory.<\/p>\n

However, it has been tough going for the world number one this year, with no wins to her name in 10 starts so far.<\/p>\n

Korda has suffered with niggling injuries this season<\/a>, so that could be one of the reasons why she\u2019s winless in 2025.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s US Open.<\/p>\n

A victory has so far proven to be elusive though. Korda\u2019s putting has really held her back this season<\/a>, but all other departments of her game are in fine working order.<\/p>\n

Two stats in particular make her struggles to win this season very hard to believe.<\/p>\n

How Nelly Korda hasn\u2019t won on the LPGA Tour this season is baffling<\/p>\n

Korda\u2019s swing is the envy of most professionals on the LPGA Tour.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

So what is the real reason why she is still awaiting her first victory in 2025?<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s almost impossible to say. That\u2019s because Korda has incredibly improved in both strokes gained total and scoring average in 2025.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Korda gained 2.37 strokes on the field in total on average per round. Meanwhile, she averaged 70 shots per round.<\/p>\n

And bizarrely, she has improved both of those stats to 2.47 strokes gained total and an average score of 69.57 this season.<\/p>\n

Judging by those numbers, it\u2019s only a matter of time before Korda wins, and wins big.<\/p>\n

July is a huge month for the women, with the Amundi Evian Championship, the ISPS HANDA Women\u2019s Scottish Open and the AIG Women\u2019s Open all to come within the next three weeks.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Nelly Korda\u2019s 2025 LPGA Tour stats<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old from Bradenton, Florida, has been in really impressive form this season.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let her lack of wins fool you, she is still very much on top of her game.<\/p>\n

Here is how her numbers look from the 2025 season so far:<\/p>\n\nStat<\/td>\nKorda\u2019s 2025 rank<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nStrokes gained off the tee<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nStrokes gained approach<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nStrokes gained around the green<\/td>\n79<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nStrokes gained putting<\/td>\n27<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nStrokes gained total<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And who would bet against her getting her first win in France at the Evian Resort Golf Club this week.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nelly Korda is still looking for her first LPGA Tour win this season.
