Korda Defends Chevron Championship Title in Houston

World No. 1 Nelly Korda is aiming to defend her Chevron Championship title as the LPGA's first major of the season gets underway, despite not yet securing a win in 2025. Korda, who had a remarkable 2024 campaign with seven victories including a streak of five consecutive wins, acknowledges that this year has started more slowly, with just two top-10 finishes in five events. She attributes her current form partly to needing rest and notes that her iron play is improving, but her putting has not matched last year's performance. Korda maintains a positive outlook, emphasizing that fluctuations in performance are part of golf and expressing confidence that continued work will bring results. The Chevron field is particularly competitive, featuring 24 of the top 25 players, and unlike last season, no single player has dominated the tour so far in 2025. Korda remains focused on the present, stating that each season brings a new mindset and challenges.
