World number one Nelly Korda has claimed her second points-based LPGA player-of-the-year award.
The 28-year-old won four times this year, including the first two majors - The Chevron Championship and the US Women's Open at Riviera.
The American, who won the award in 2024, is one victory away from qualifying for the LPGA Hall of Fame.
To qualify for the Hall of Fame, a player must accumulate 27 points and meet a mandatory performance requirement.
A major championship win is worth two points, while an LPGA Tour victory is worth one point.
