The world number one took home the U.S. Open on Sunday at Riviera Country Club, and in the process she picked up her fourth major championship title. Korda has previously won the Chevron Championship twice, and she initially broke through on the major circuit with a win at the KMPG Women’s PGA Championship back in 2021.
With Korda picking up her third different major, the hardest to win in the U.S. Open, conversations have understandably turned to a certain subject… the career grand slam.
Recent Career Grand Slams in golf
Professional golf is only a year and change removed from seeing this feat on the men’s side of the game. Rory McIlroy finally won the Masters in 2025, and amazingly he doubled down on that by repeating as its winner this year. Interestingly, next week will offer an opportunity to see someone join Rory in the club on the men’s side as Scottie Scheffler needs only a U.S. Open title himself to do it. He has a chance next week as noted.
Back to Nelly and the women’s game, the LPGA recognizes a career grand slam as a player having won four different majors even though there are currently five. At present time there is the Chevron, the U.S. Open, the Women’s PGA Championship, the Women’s British Open, and back in 2013 the Amundi Evian Championship was formally established as the fifth major.
Korda needs only the British or Evian to claim her career grand slam, and both have yet to be played this season. This means she will have to bites at the proverbial apple.
Nelly has won each of the two majors played this season so she will be the heavy favorite in all likelihood in the coming months.

Nelly Korda has already conquered just about everything that she can in professional golf. Given that she is only 27 years old it is all pretty surreal.

#Jordan #Spieth #incredible #week">Jordan Spieth could do something incredible this week
You know it. I know it. We all know it.
Jordan Spieth is chasing the career grand slam yet again this week at the PGA Championship and given that we so recently got to see somebody climb that mountain last year with Rory McIlroy at the Masters (where he doubled down this year)… we want more.
This year marks Spieth’s 10th run at the Career Grand Slam and the passage of time has seemingly made him have a level of peace about the quest.
At the moment Jordan isn’t exactly believed to be seriously in the mix. Consider that FanDuel Sportsbook has him at +5500 to win at Aronimink with players like Min Woo Lee and Chris Gotterup ahead of him. Even Jordan’s buddy Rickie Fowler is listed in front him after last week’s showing at the Truist.
Isn’t the fact that this is a longshot something that makes us want it all the more, though? How many people seriously went into Augusta last year thinking that Rory was about to do it? He may not have been this far down the odds listing, but he was hardly considered a lock.
We could literally be on the precipice of golf history right now. Think about that.

Detroit’s identity as the “Motor City” inspired the team name and logo as it reflects a broader culture of speed, design, and mechanical excellence that’s part of the city’s DNA. MCGC’s brand aesthetic honors Detroit’s storied history of motor racing while also celebrating its deep-rooted golf culture.
“As TGL’s first expansion team, we’re thrilled to reveal a new brand that embodies Detroit and takes a major step to bringing Motor City Golf Club to life,” said Michael Hamp, Team Governor. “We wanted the brand to feel like its home city while honoring Detroit’s pride, culture of design and innovation. We also aimed to establish an identity and team colors that stand proudly alongside Detroit’s celebrated sports logos. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result and we feel the MCGC logo represents the history of our city and sits uniquely amongst the other teams in the TGL landscape.”
“Detroit is one of America’s great sports cities, and Motor City Golf Club brings a level of passion and pride that will elevate the entire TGL experience,” said TMRW Sports CMO, Peter Jung. “That, combined with an ownership group featuring respected leaders and icons across professional sports makes this a powerful addition to the league. Motor City Golf Club represents exactly what TGL sees in its future – a community-driven team that will inevitably grow TGL’s momentum and connect new fans to the game.”

Entry into the PGA Championship this season

It will be interesting to see how Alex fares down in Miami this week.

Nelly Korda won the Chevron Championship on Sunday, her second Chevron title in three years, and now officially has three major championships. While her career continues to become more and more decorated her 2026 season specifically is one to be impressed by as she has yet to finish worse than second at any point.
Nelly’s play has taken her to a place she knows well. On Monday she officially took the top spot within the Rolex Rankings, her first appearance atop the list since August of last year before Jenno Thitikul took the spot.
This marks Nelly’s seventh time sitting atop the Rolex Rankings and collectively she has spent 109 weeks in the position across her career. The record for longest time spent at number one, since the inception of the Rolex Rankings, belongs to Jin Young Ko with 163 weeks. Nelly has tied Yani Tseng for the fourth-most weeks at number one, though.
It is Nelly Korda’s world right now and everyone is just living in it. We will see what else she has in store for 2026 soon enough.

There is a new number one in the world.Nelly Korda won the Chevron Championship on…
The new (and old) world number one had as dominating of a win as one can at the Chevron Championship. Korda finished the weekend 18-under and five strokes clear of anyone else. It is Nelly’s second win at the Chevron specifically in three years, and given her previous KMPG Women’s PGA Championship victory (2021) it is now her third career major victory.
Korda did most of the damage over the first two rounds in Houston as she posted back to back scores of 7-under. Golf is unpredictable and anything can happen, but Nelly’s grip on the field made the weekend more of a formality than anything.
It is hard to really qualify how impressive this win was for Nelly. The massive margin of victory does a great job of that, but she entered the week as the favorite in most circles. History literally said that she would go on to win and she did. Think about that.
The most impressive thing in sports is when the athletes who we expect to be great are so on the biggest possible stages. When it’s primetime and the lights are bright most human beings tend to fold. We are trained and conditioned to believe that athletic superstars can rise to the occasion, but even they are ultimately human as well. It is difficult, impossible on some level, to be at your best when the moment and everyone in the crowd. is calling for it.
Nelly Korda did that at the Chevron Championship and has made a career of doing it more often than not. She is one of the most dominant athletes in the world right now and is building quite the trophy collection to prove that.
