Nelly Korda’s streak of brilliance continued in Mexico. The 27-year-old collected her third title of the season at the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba and a paycheck of $375,000.
Korda closed with a 69 at the El Camaleon Golf Course at Mayakoba to win by four. The world No. 1 now has 18 career LPGA titles. She has yet to finish outside the top 2 in six starts.
“Everyone out here puts in the work,” said Korda. “Sometimes it works out. I’m just grateful that I have an amazing team that no matter through the ups and downs we’ve all stayed the same. We all are super motivated, and we’re just happy to be out here.”
Korda is now at $2,843,718 in 2026 earnings, which is about $11,000 shy of being twice what second-place Hannah Green has earned this season. Korda is also now fifth all-time with $18,953,276.
For many in the field, the $2.5 million prize fund provided a much-needed payday. Journeywoman Brianna Do made $129,249 for her solo fourth, her first LPGA paycheck of the season. Do, 36, had only one other career top 10 finish – at this event last year.

“After last year, you know, going into it I believed that my best golf was still ahead of me even though I’m one of the older players out here,” said Do, “and I still believe that. It just showed this week.”
