Just one week after winning the 2026 Chevron Championship, Nelly Korda finished atop the LPGA Mayakoba leaderboard to win the Riviera Maya Open.
The world No. 1 controlled the tournament throughout the week, closing with a 3-under 69 on Sunday at El Camaleón Golf Course to finish at 17-under overall. She secured a four-shot victory over Arpichaya Yubol, who finished solo second at 13-under.
Korda bogeyed the par-5 18th — just her second bogey of the tournament. However, the game's outcome had long been decided.
“I just made two mistakes all week,” Korda said afterwards. “With how tight the fairways are and how hard this golf course is, I played some really good golf.”
That level of control defined her week.
The 27-year-old US star either led or stayed near the top of the LPGA Mayakoba leaderboard throughout the tournament, with players like Yubol, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, and Carlota Ciganda remaining within reach yet unable to match her consistency.
“I’m just enjoying myself — I love the competition,” Korda said.
The win furthers what's becoming a notable 2026 LPGA Tour run.
In addition to lifting her second Chevron Championship trophy — and reclaiming her No. 1 status — Korda opened the 2026 season by winning the HGV Tournament of Champions.
