Nelly Korda is back where she belongs—at the top of the leaderboard and the world rankings. After capturing her third career major and reclaiming the No. 1 spot, the American superstar is now chasing another LPGA victory at the 2026 Riviera Maya Open. And if her performance so far is any indication, history might be in the making.

Korda opened the tournament at El Camaleon Golf Course in Mayakoba with a solid 68, then followed it up with back-to-back rounds of 67. That consistency gave her a three-shot lead heading into Sunday's final round. But she didn't rest on her laurels. After four opening pars, she electrified the crowd with an eagle on the par-5 fifth hole, pushing her score to 16 under par.

The final round action is split across two networks. Golf Channel is streaming the first hour of coverage from 12-1 p.m. ET, before CBS Sports takes over at 1 p.m. for the final two hours of live coverage. It's the perfect setup for fans who want to catch every swing of what promises to be a thrilling finish.

Korda's return to No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings on Monday marked her seventh time atop the throne. She has now spent a combined 108 weeks as the world's best—a testament to her sustained dominance. A win here would be her 18th career LPGA victory and her third of the 2026 season in just six starts. Her other finishes this year include a solo second and two ties for second. In fact, only two golfers have managed to beat her all season.

If she closes it out, Korda would join an elite group. She would become the 26th American to earn 18 or more LPGA wins, the first to reach that milestone since Lydia Ko in 2022, and the first American to do so since Cristie Kerr in 2015. Even more impressive, she would be the youngest American to hit 18 wins since Nancy Lopez in 1980.

Whether you're following for the history or just love watching greatness, the Riviera Maya Open is delivering drama in spades. Stay locked in—Korda is writing another chapter in her incredible story.
