Nelly Korda is on the doorstep of the LPGA Hall of Fame, though she claims she doesn't know how close she really is.

"It's one of the hardest Hall of Fames to get into for sure, but I've never really truly looked ​at it," Korda said. "If I'm being honest, I don't even know how many points you need to get ‌into it."

For the record, 27 points must be accumulated to earn a spot in the LGPA Hall of Fame, and Korda's two points shy.

She could collect those two points with a victory at this weekend's major, the Women's PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.

"I wouldn't ​say it's a motivating factor, but it would be something that is -- would be an absolute amazing accomplishment to be ​alongside some of the best that have ever played in this game on the LPGA Tour," ⁠Korda said.

"But if it's a motivating factor to me and I'm like thinking about it, not necessarily. I just enjoy playing ​golf and I enjoy being in the hunt in tournaments. I always say good golf kind of solves everything, and that's my ​main focus, is just trying to play consistent good golf."

It would still be a remarkable achievement for the 27-year-old. Korda, the World No. 1, has four major championships under her belt already, including two in a row in 2026, a season in which she has won four of her ​nine starts.

And yet, even more is at stake when Korda tees off Thursday.

Only two women in the history of the game ​have won three straight majors in a single season, and Korda can join Inbee Park (2013) and Babe Zaharias (1950) in achieving the same.

Moreover, the LPGA ‌requires four ⁠different majors won to qualify for the sport's grand slam, despite now boasting five tournaments it calls majors.

With wins already at the KPMG Women's PGA (2021), the Chevron Championship (2024, 2026) and the U.S Women's Open (2026), Korda needs a victory at either the Women's British Open or Evian Championship to reach that milestone.

But Korda refuses to yield to the pressure of the moment, likely helped by the ​fact that she will have ​another major to compete in ⁠later this season while continuing her pursuit of the Hall of Fame. She can earn two more points this season -- and secure a place in the Hall of Fame -- without winning another major, ​if she manages to win Player of the Year honors and achieve the tour's lowest ​scoring average.

Those marks ⁠are very much in reach as well.

"I don't want to put extra pressure on myself," Korda acknowledged when talking about the blinders she puts on with historical achievements. "If I always think about that then -- I feel like the game of golf is already hard enough. If ⁠I ​add more pressure on myself then it's going to be even harder.

"I think ​I have a very in-the-moment mindset this year, which I'm just trying to take towards the end of the year. No matter what happens, I've just told ​myself if I am lifting the trophy, like that is obviously the main goal at the end of the week."
