Overview

  • Korda begins play in Mississauga still winless this season despite entering the week as one of the LPGA’s top performers by the numbers.
  • Her metrics remain elite: a 69.87 scoring average (No. 2 on tour) with strokes gained ranks of first off the tee, third total and fourth tee to green.
  • She has made the cut in all 13 starts with five top-10s, including a runner-up at the U.S. Women’s Open.
  • Her 17‑month stint at World No. 1 ended nearly three weeks ago, with Jeeno Thitikul now holding the top ranking.
  • Korda cites tight margins and tour depth—21 events, 21 different winners—and leans on a strong CPKC record, a combined 38 under in five prior starts.
