Nelly Korda’s initial reaction to the LPGA’s new Pace of Play Policy? Finally. At a player meeting on Tuesday night at the Founders Cup – the first one run by interim commissioner Liz Moore – the tour rolled out a new policy that hits players where it really hurts – strokes.

Nelly Korda nearly mounted an incredible comeback, but A Lim Kim refused to relent at the Tournament of Champions.

The LPGA Tour has announced a number of measures to combat slow play, with the circuit set to enforce more penalties on those who don't follow the guidelines

Korda has made a number of close friends over the years at this event, and typically requests to play with the likes of country music singer Chris Lane and World Series champions Derek Lowe and Kevin Millar. She’ll play Thursday’s opening round alongside Lowe and LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam, who is once again part of the celebrity field.
