Nelly Korda Makes History with Two Major Wins in 2026

Nelly Korda and Haeran Ryu have achieved something no golfers have ever done before - winning two major championships in the same season. Korda set the tone early in the 2026 season, capturing the first two major championships of the year and continuing her transformation from superstar to one of the defining players of her generation.

What happened?

Korda's wins came early in the season, with her first major championship victory at the Chevron Championship, followed by another win at the Riviera Championship. Ryu's breakthrough victory at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship secured her second major title of the season at the Amundi Evian Championship.

Why it matters for Nelly Korda

Korda's dominance and Ryu's rise represent two different paths to greatness in women's golf. Korda's continued success solidifies her position as the face of the LPGA, while Ryu's emergence as a major champion signals a new era in women's golf.

What comes next?

The 2026 season was already destined to be remembered, but thanks to Korda and Ryu, it has a place in golf history that belongs to them alone. As the season continues, fans will be watching to see if Korda and Ryu can continue their winning ways and make even more history.

Korda's transformation from superstar to one of the defining players of her generation is a testament to her hard work and dedication. With her two major championships, Korda has proven once again why she has become the face of the LPGA.

Ryu's breakthrough victory at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship was a turning point in her career, and her second major title at the Amundi Evian Championship solidified her position as a rising star in women's golf.

The significance of Korda and Ryu's achievement goes beyond the record books. It's another reminder of the depth and star power currently shaping women's golf.

Golf has seen dominant stretches, historic seasons, and players who have collected major championships at an incredible pace. But never before have two different players each captured two majors in the same calendar year.

The 2026 season will be remembered for years to come, and Korda and Ryu's achievement will be etched in golf history forever.
