World No. 1 Nelly Korda suffered this fate on Sunday at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where a 7-under 65 was not enough in the end. She began the day at 11-under par, made a flurry of birdies on the front nine, and quickly found herself near the top of the leaderboard when she made the turn.

Nelly Korda nearly mounted an incredible comeback, but A Lim Kim refused to relent at the Tournament of Champions.

Let this serve as a warning to her fellow competitors: As Nelly Korda starts the 2025 LPGA season, she says she’s carrying even more confidence than she had during her record-breaking 2024 campaign.
