Who won the 2024 LPGA Drive On Championship? Final leaderboard and scores explored

Nelly Korda defeated Lydia Ko in a sudden playoff on Sunday, January 28, to win the 2024 LPGA Drive on Championship. The American golfer started the year with a fantastic victory. It is her first win on the Tour since capturing the 2022 Pelican Women's Championship.

Korda was having a four-stroke lead when she entered the final round on Sunday. However, she struggled with her game and shot a round of 11-under 73. She finished in a tie with Ko as they headed for a playoff, where Korda emerged victorious.

Speaking about the victory, the former world No.1 said (via Heard Tribune):

“Gosh, I thought that the tournament was over going into 17. I just kind of gave myself a chance. I knew that if I rolled that eagle in, I had to birdie the last hole. Yeah, I seem to always make it very dramatic and interesting, so there is no better feeling than to do it in front of a home crowd. What a day. It was such a grind out there, so back and forth. I felt like I never really got anything going. But, I mean, I just can’t even believe it right now."

With this victory, Nelly Korda won $262K in prize money, while Ko earned a check of $163K for finishing in second place. Megan Khang had a solo third-place finish followed by Lucy Li, who tied up with Ayaka Furue for fourth place.
