A commanding 78% of EssentiallySports readers believe Nelly Korda will hoist the trophy at the 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, while just 17% are betting against the world No. 1. One reader pointed to her championship DNA — "Talent, temperament, momentum" — as proof she's built for major Sundays. Another fan leaned on her ranking, insisting the "#1 female player will surge to win," while others argued her slow starts don't matter because she "gets better as the tournament flourishes." Still, the skeptics raised a sharp distinction worth noting: "CAN and WILL are not the same thing," one voter cautioned, echoing the 17% who respect Korda's gifts but aren't ready to pencil her in.
