Nelly Korda won the season opener but hasn’t played on the LPGA since. But now we know the next two times Korda plans to see it up.
The LPGA is in midst of a three-tournament Asian swing, but Korda will be competing in the first two events when the tour returns stateside.
Nelly Korda watches her shot from the first tee during the third round of the 2026 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando.
Korda has committed to the Fortinet Founders Cup at Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club, March 19-22, in Menlo Park, California, and the Ford Championship, March 26-29, at Whirlwind Golf Club, Cattail Course in Chandler, Arizona.

Korda won in Orlando on Feb. 1 to kick off 2026. It’ll be about seven weeks in between competitive rounds for her. She didn’t win in 2025 after earning seven victories in 2024, including four in a row that spring. Her win at the 2024 Ford was the second of those four straight (but at a different golf course).
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul is also signed up to play both the Fortinet and the Ford. Korda and Thitikul won the first two events of the LPGA’s 2026 season, the first time in the 20-year history the Rolex rankings the Nos. 1 and 2 players won the first two tournaments of a season.
Third-ranked Charley Hull is not on the list for the Fortinet but is set to play in Arizona at the Ford.
