Several big names have a lot of work to do if they intend to play the weekend at the first LPGA major of 2025 at the 2025 Chevron Championship.

Nelly Korda’s defense of her Chevron Championship title got off to such a rough start that the world’s top-ranked golfer is in serious danger of missing the cut in the LPGA’s first major of the year.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — “Have faith” was Nelly Korda’s motto for the second round of The Chevron Championship, and it was one that worked well for the Rolex Women’s World Rankings No. 1 coming down the stretch at The Club at Carlton Woods, as she carded a 4-under 68 to eke her way inside the projected cut line.
