PARIS 2024 OLYMPICS: HOW NELLY KORDA MATCHED TIGER WOODS TO RAISE THE PROFILE OF WOMEN’S GOLF
Nelly Korda is the star name in women’s golf at Paris 2024.
The Olympic champion and Scottie Scheffler both enjoyed historic runs earlier in 2024. While Scheffler claimed four wins out of five tournaments on the PGA Tour, Korda put together five consecutive LPGA Tour victories to match the record jointly held by Nancy Lopez (1978) and Annika Sorenstam(2004-05).
The last golfer before that, male or female, to win on five consecutive starts was Tiger Woods in 2007-08.
Interest in the women’s game is rising in popularity largely thanks to Korda’s exploits. When she won her fifth consecutive title of 2024 – and her second major – at the Chevron Championship, a peak 1.9 million viewers tuned in. That made it the most watched Chevron – formerly known as the ANA Inspiration – since 2010.
After her final round, the American said, “We need a stage. We need to be on primetime TV, and we need to showcase the talent we have here which is a lot.”
Like Caitlin Clark in the WNBA, the 26-year-old is bringing a new audience to her sport.
