After its first event of the season, the LPGA adopted new pace of play policies, and nobody is happier about them than Nelly Korda.

In a memo sent to players, posted by @MondayQInfo, officials note that under the previous policy, 22 athletes received a fine in 2024 and nine received a two-stroke penalty. If the new policy had been in place last year, 23 players would’ve received a one-stroke penalty and eight would’ve received a two-stroke penalty.

Ko, who is ranked No. 3 in the world, is also back at Bradenton Country Club, 4646 Ninth Ave. W., Bradenton. The LPGA Tour stop has a new name this year. It’s the 2025 Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands.
