Baku:Florida Nelly Korda, the 28-year-old American golf sensation, is on the cusp of being inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame following her recent triumph in securing the LPGA Player of the Year award for the second time in three years. This accolade was achieved through the points system and marks another significant milestone in her illustrious career.

According to Thai News Agency, Korda's path to the Hall of Fame has been facilitated by the withdrawal of South Korean golfer Haeran Ryu due to injury from the tournament in Malaysia. Additionally, competitors such as Miyu Yamashita of Japan and Thai golfer Atthaya Thitikul did not participate in The Annika tournament in Florida, which mathematically ensured that no other golfer could surpass Korda's cumulative points.

This season, Korda has been in exceptional form, clinching victories in four tournaments, including two major championships The Chevron Championship and the US Women's Open. Her achievement of winning the Player of the Year title with three tournaments still to be played is a testament to her outstanding performance, despite opting out of the Asia Swing for four weeks.

Winning the Player of the Year award has boosted Korda's total points for the LPGA Hall of Fame to 26, just one shy of the 27-point requirement for official induction. She has the opportunity to earn this final point in her upcoming tournaments in Florida The Annika and the prestigious CME Group Tour Championship.

If successful, Korda will join the ranks of the youngest golfers to be inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame, although the record for the youngest inductee remains with Inbee Parr of South Korea, who achieved this feat at age 27. Korda's journey towards this honor has been marked by a remarkable start to the season, winning the Tournament of Champions and consistently finishing as winner or runner-up in six consecutive tournaments.
