The day before the CME Group Tour Championship, the LPGA Tour hosted its Awards Gala. Several of the tour's annual awards were presented at the ceremony.
Nelly Korda picked up the two trophies recognizing her as the winner of the Rolex Annika Major Award and the Player of the Year Award. The world number one had this to say (via ESPN)
"It's been crazy, it's been such a fun year, full of ups and downs, but I am so, so grateful for my team sitting right here. It's been an amazing year and I'm so grateful to be doing what I love."
Lydia Ko received the Heather Farr Perseverance Award, given for "hard work, dedication and love of the game of golf." During the 2024 season, Ko became the 26th player to be inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame.
At the CME Group Tour Championship, Ally Ewing received the Founders Award, which is given to the player who "best exemplifies the spirit, ideals and values of the LPGA through her conduct and actions." Other honorees included first-time winners Lauren Coughlin, Bailey Tardy and Linnea Strom.
