The Golfer Who Can't Stop Winning [View all]

Scottie Scheffler is on an epic tear through the golf world. He just won the Masters and then won his very next tournament, giving him four wins in his last five events. In the only one he didn’t win, he finished second.

Nobody on the PGA Tour has been hotter since prime Tiger Woods. But somehow, Scheffler isn’t the most unstoppable golfer on the planet these days.

That would be Nelly Korda.

On Sunday, Korda won the Chevron Championship, the first major of the LPGA Tour season and the second of her career, giving the 25-year-old American wins in five consecutive starts and putting her in rarefied company. The run matches the LPGA record held by all-time great Annika Sorenstam (2004-05) and Nancy Lopez, who became a national sensation when she first accomplished the feat as a rookie in 1978.

Now it’s Korda’s time, and this isn’t just any hot streak. Finally healthy again after injury, Korda is capitalizing on her potential to completely dominate the sport.
