Nelly Korda’s reign as world No. 1 is over – for now.
Korda was bumped from the top spot in the Rolex Rankings by Jin Young Ko on Monday. While Ko hasn’t played since winning the CME Group Tour Championship last November, Korda’s T-20 finish on Sunday at the Gainbridge LPGA was enough to drop her average points to 9.48, three-hundredths of a point behind Ko.
It’s not the first time that Ko has supplanted Korda. Korda made her debut at No. 1 last June after winning her first major, the KPMG Women’s PGA, but Ko took over the top position for two weeks in late October before Korda reclaimed No.
