After its first event of the season, the LPGA adopted new pace of play policies, and nobody is happier about them than Nelly Korda.

In a memo sent to players, posted by @MondayQInfo, officials note that under the previous policy, 22 athletes received a fine in 2024 and nine received a two-stroke penalty. If the new policy had been in place last year, 23 players would’ve received a one-stroke penalty and eight would’ve received a two-stroke penalty.

Nelly Korda nearly mounted an incredible comeback, but A Lim Kim refused to relent at the Tournament of Champions.

The World No.1 is in support for the LPGA Tour's new policy to fine players money and shots for going over their allotted time

Ko, who is ranked No. 3 in the world, is also back at Bradenton Country Club, 4646 Ninth Ave. W., Bradenton. The LPGA Tour stop has a new name this year. It’s the 2025 Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands.

At this time a year ago, Bradenton’s Nelly Korda started one of the greatest streaks in golf history – carding her first of five consecutive tournament wins right here in Bradenton.

The LPGA Tour is cracking down on slow play, hoping to address an issue that has reached a boiling point throughout the sport.

World No. 1 Nelly Korda needed one word to sum up her thoughts upon hearing that officials are set to address the issue of slow play on the LPGA Tour: “Finally.” On Tuesday, the tour informed players that rules surrounding pace of play were being adjusted on tour.
