- World No.1 heads to London, her only England appearance this year, aiming to defend her title
- A historic start to 2024 for Korda with six wins, including Major championship
- Korda to compete with strong field, ahead of bid to retain her gold medal at the Olympics in August
World No.1 Nelly Korda will be heading to London this summer in imperious form, as the history-making superstar defends her Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – London title at Centurion Club, from July 3-5, 2024.
Korda has been inspiring in 2024, securing six titles, including five consecutive LPGA titles and her first Chevron Championship. Her visit to London will be the only time to catch the American playing in England this year.
Overcoming grueling conditions in 2023, Korda cemented her win at Centurion Club by scoring an impressive 11-under-par, claiming her first title on British soil and besting home favorite Charley Hull in the process.
With the 2024 Paris Olympics set for August, and the Solheim Cup in September, the 2024 schedule is relentless for Korda, but the opportunity to defend her title in London was one that she couldn’t turn down.
“Winning in London last year was definitely one of the highlights of 2023 for me, I played some really solid golf across the weekend, which showed me that my game was in a good place,” she said.
“I am very proud of the hard work I have put in the past year and it is nice to see some of the results paying off. I am always looking to improve and focus on my next event and I am excited to be coming back to the Aramco Team Series in London.
The defending Olympic gold medalist has ascended the Rolex Women’s World Golf rankings this year, now looking untouchable at the top – but despite this success Korda is levelheaded, and keen to ensure she can use her profile to inspire more young girls to take up golf.
“It is inspiring to be in a position to have a positive influence on the game,” she continued.
“Making an impact on the next generation is something that is important to me. I try to inspire young girls and boys to encourage them to pick up a golf club for the first time – and the Aramco Team Series is a big part of that, as I’ve seen first-hand how their initiatives can have such a positive impact on the next generation.”
World No.1 is preparing for a summer of sport ahead, beginning at Centurion Club
Already announced for the event are English duo Charley Hull and Georgia Hall, each looking to build on positive outings of their own in 2023 – and this time, overcome Korda on their home soil.
The duo will be part of a field that boasts a host of Olympians and Major winners, with the innovative team event attracting a blend of stars from both the LPGA and Ladies European Tour.
Tickets for the event are available now, with a full spectator offering set to be announced, including celebrity competitors in the Champ-Am, on the first two days of the tournament.
