Nelly Korda's wire-to-wire win at the Chevron Championship was not only her second Chevron and third major title, but it also moved her back to No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings. She returns to Rolex Rankings No. 1 for the first time since August 2025, taking over the spot from Jeeno Thitikul. This is seventh time Korda has reached No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings and she has spent a collective 109 weeks in the position over her career — tying Yani Tseng for the fourth most weeks at No. 1.
