Nelly Korda and Haeran Ryu Just Did Something No One in Golf History Has Done

For the first time ever, two golfers have won two major championships in the same season.

It sounds almost impossible—especially considering how difficult it is to win even one major title. But in 2026, Nelly Korda and Haeran Ryu turned the impossible into reality, creating a piece of golf history that may never be repeated.

Korda set the tone early in the season, capturing the first two major championships of the year and continuing her transformation from superstar to one of the defining players of her generation. After years of chasing that elusive multi-major season, the World No. 1 proved once again why she has become the face of the LPGA.

Then came Ryu’s moment.

With a breakthrough victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Ryu secured her second major title of the season at the Amundi Evian Championship and joined Korda in a category no two golfers—male or female—had ever reached before: two players winning multiple majors in the same year.

That’s what makes this season so remarkable. Golf has seen dominant stretches, historic seasons, and players who have collected major championships at an incredible pace. But never before have two different players each captured two majors in the same calendar year.

The significance goes beyond the record books. It’s another reminder of the depth and star power currently shaping women’s golf. Korda’s dominance and Ryu’s rise represent two different paths to greatness—one from an established superstar continuing to build a legacy, the other from a player announcing herself on the biggest stages.

The 2026 season was already destined to be remembered. Now, thanks to Korda and Ryu, it has a place in golf history that belongs to them alone.
