Nelly Korda and fellow stars from the LPGA Tour recently shared their thoughts and expectations for the new season. The 2025 LPGA Tour will kick off with the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. This event will start on January 30, 2025, at the Lake Nona Golf Course.

LPGA Tour made a post on their official Instagram page on January 6, where they featured popular LPGA pros. In the series full of interview clips, they spoke about what they expect in the upcoming 2025 season. Apart from Korda, the post had Brooke Henderson, Rose Zhang, Jeeno Thitikul, Madelene Sangström, Lauren Coughlin, Linnea Ström and Albane Valenzuela.

Korda said in the video:

"Just my team. Am super grateful for them and I can't wait for 2025 with them, create more memories."
"I feel like the last couple of weeks, I've started to play pretty well, made some more birdies," Henderson explained.
"Carrying into 2025, I want to stay intentional with anything that I do," Zhang said.
"You know, I need to work on some things that I can still get better at," Coughlin said.

"Motivated definitely, and just excited and proud of how this year went. Never in a million years would I have thought last year, 365 days ago, I would be here with seven wins in one season and another major championship. But I’m proud of the way I played this year, proud of the way I bounced back after the middle of the year to win in Tampa. And, yeah, just motivated and eager to get next year going again."

After spending the last part of the year on a snowy vacation in Park City, Utah, Korda still has time left. The 2025 LPGA season starts with the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament on January 30. Unless Korda suffers some unexpected injury, she will tee off at the Lake Nona Golf Course.
