The message Nelly Korda received from Tiger Woods before winning the U.S. Open

Tiger Woods : She claims her second Major of 2026, a year in which she has added two more victories and three runner-up finishes in eight appearances

In one of the sanctuaries of golf in the United States, Riviera, in Los Angeles, Nelly Korda lifted yet another title to the sky that can make room for her stardom. The American and world No. 1 won the US Open to reaffirm her crushing dominance in 2026, where she has won four titles, including the other Major that has been played, the Chevron, and has finished second on three other occasions. In the eighth tournament she played, she finished eighth. In the entire season, only nine players can say they have finished ahead of her in any tournament.

Korda came back over the course of the other three days from Thursday’s slip-up. After posting a 73 she was seven shots off the lead, then fired matching 67s on Friday and Saturday to reach a share of the lead and head into the final round with every chance, in search of the fourth Major of her career at the age of 27. (Results)

Before going out to play on Sunday, Korda received a text message from Tiger Woods telling her: “Finish it off!” It was one more, albeit a significant one, in a kind of positive therapy that works for her just as well as the grip change recommended by her sister Jessica, a golfer who is now pregnant. All week she had been writing herself messages on the bathroom mirror like: “Whatever happens, will happen. Just give 100 percent.”

And that was the spirit when she saw that with six holes to play, the Korean In Gee Chun had opened up a two-shot lead. With a string of pars, she kept building while the rest began to falter. That brought her to the 17th hole, a par 5, where a three-meter putt allowed her to sink a birdie that left her as the sole leader of the US Open, one shot ahead of England’s Charley Hull and Mexico’s Gaby Lopez. She played the final hole in such an orthodox way that the last putt, from less than a meter, went in through the back door, but it went in.
It had been 13 years since any golfer had won the first two majors of a season.
Julia López Ramírez, the only Spaniard among the five who played the second major of the season to make the cut, shot 75 in the final round and finished 60th. After winning all the American Majors, Korda still has the British and the Evian left to complete the women’s career Super Grand Slam—there are five—which has only been achieved by the Australian Karrie Webb. In addition to being an Olympic champion.
