Nelly Korda has long been vocal about her opposition to slow play on the LPGA Tour. 

She believes that stricter rules are needed to ensure the pace of play and professionalism of the tournament.

Last year, at the Evian Championship, Spanish golfer Carlota Ciganda was penalized two strokes for slow play on the final hole of round 2. 

However, after an unsuccessful appeal, Ciganda refused to add the penalty stroke to her scorecard and was disqualified. 

This incident caused a lot of controversy and attracted public attention.

Slow play also affects the appeal of the tournament because it is difficult for spectators to spend 5-6 hours just to watch one round. 

Korda said she herself experienced slow play at this year’s U.S. Women’s Open when it took her more than 6 hours to complete the final round.

Korda also emphasized that improving the pace of play will also help attract more viewers, both live and on television. The female golfer also hopes that the LPGA Tour will take stronger measures to deal with the problem of slow play, ensuring fairness and professionalism for all golfers participating in the tournament.

The world No. 1 golfer had an impressive start to the season this year with 6 wins in 8 appearances. Unfortunately, she then went through a series of 3 consecutive tournaments without making the cut before the Evian Championship, the 4th major of the year.

This year’s tournament will officially start from July 11 at Evian Resort Golf Club.
