After a 14-month drought, Korda hoisted a winner's trophy early on Sunday afternoon after ‍capturing the Tournament of Champions at the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club.

Korda won for the 16th time without leaving the clubhouse or practice ​range. The tournament was shortened to 54 holes and second-placed finisher Amy Yang, one of eight players that took to the course, could not make up three shots on two ⁠holes to tie Korda.

Korda carded a stunning eight-under-par 64 in chilly conditions on Saturday, but was able to get into the clubhouse before the winds took full affect and caused tournament officials to halt play. She won for the first time since the 2024 Annika in November 2024.

"It feels amazing. I'm just super proud of (caddie) Jason (McDede) and I yesterday for how ‌we fought those conditions," ​said Korda.

"For my team. I wouldn't be here without them. We're all pieces of a puzzle. I wouldn't be ‍who I am without them. Just so grateful."

Korda posted rounds of 68-71-64 and topped Yang (10 under) by three strokes. Canada's Brooke Henderson carded a 66 on Saturday and finished alone in third at seven under.

Yang, who resides in Orlando, was disappointed, but ​understood the bizarre circumstances.

"I wish I played final round, you know, give myself a little chance," said the South Korean.

"But it was playing very cold out there. I got here early warming up for 10am resume, and the greens weren't playable ... so, yeah, I could understand that we couldn't compete for the fourth round."

Korda plans to remain at home as many LPGA players head for the six-week Asian swing.

"The first tournament of the season is always tough. You're working on stuff and you kind of test it out, but at the end of the day like you're going in for that trophy," said Korda.

"Mentally you're ‍here 100 per cent, and you kind of have to let go of all the technique that you ​worked on and you have to just commit."
