Six consecutive LPGA Tour victories. The number is almost too large to process. In a sport where winning once in a season is an achievement and winning twice makes you a contender for player of the year, Nelly Korda won six times in a row. The streak is over now, but the conversation about what it meant — and whether it will ever be matched — is just beginning.
The streak started quietly, as historic runs often do. A win in February that looked like a hot week. Another in March that started to feel like something more. By the time the fourth and fifth wins arrived, the golf world had stopped treating each tournament as a standalone event and started watching to see how far this could go.
What made the streak remarkable was not just the quantity of wins but the quality. Korda did not win six times by avoiding the best fields. She won at events with full LPGA fields, in varying conditions, on different types of courses. She won wire-to-wire and she won from behind. She won when she was playing her best and she won when she was not.
The streak ended the way most streaks do — not with a collapse but with a week where someone else simply played better. Korda finished in the top five. The player who beat her played a near-perfect final round. That is golf.
What remains is a record that will define Korda's legacy regardless of what comes next. Six in a row is the kind of achievement that gets mentioned in the same breath as the names that shaped the history of the women's game. She earned that company.
