    It was back to work this week for the LPGA as the tour embarked on its 75th season beginning with the Hilton Grand Vacation Tournament of Champions. The 32-player, no-cut field included several of the top pros in the game, most notably World No. 1 Nelly Korda. The LPGA’s reigning player of the year won seven times in 2024, the most of any player in more than a decade and the most by an American since Beth Daniel in 1990.

    Korda, 26, did her best to continue her winning ways as she grabbed a share of the lead on the back nine at Lake Nona G.&C.C. on Sunday. But South Korea’s A Lim Kim, out front after each of the first three rounds of the event, answered Korda’s rally. With birdies on the 14th and 15th holes, the 29-year-old from South Korea regained a two-shot edge. Another birdie on the 18th allowed the former U.S. Women’s Open champion to sign for a five-under 67 final round and finish at 20-under 268 total for her third career LPGA title, and her second wire-to-wire triumph.

    Seventeen of the top 25 players on the Rolex Women’s Rankings were competing, with four players making their TOC debut (Lauren Coughlin, Linnea Strom, Rio Takeda, Bailey Tardy). So it was that Kim’s victory was a bit of a surprise, starting the week 55th in the world. Her best previous finish in the event was a T-15 in 2022.

    The overall purse this week is $2 million with Kim earning a first-place prize money payout of $300,000. Here’s the prize money payouts for the entire field.

    Lake Nona is a mid-1980s solo Tom Fazio design, built not long after his uncle and former design partner, George Fazio, stepped away from the business before his death in 1986. Named after an adjacent body of water just east of Orlando International Airport that borders the entire left side of the 18th hole (two other holes touch neighboring Buck and Red Lakes), the design was originally carved through central Florida jungles of pine, cypress and palmetto with attractive holes buffered by lagoons and exposed washes of sand. Over the last 30 years, a premium real estate development has filled in around it, one of the most upscale in the Orlando market. Today, Lake Nona is known as much for its PGA- and LPGA-heavy membership and homeowners as for what remains a wonderfully modest and pared-down early-period Fazio design.
