Korda, who won the runner-up prize at the U.S. Women's Open on Sunday, has firmly maintained her No. 1 ranking in the world rankings of the LPGA Tour this week, which was announced on Sunday. Since her debut in June 2021, Korda has been ranked No. 1 for six consecutive weeks. The last time she ranked No. 1 again in the world was in March last year, and she has been on the "Thrones" list for 63 consecutive weeks. In the world rankings of women's golf that were established in 2006, Korda is the sixth player to rank No. 1 for more than 100 weeks, following Ko Jin-young (163 weeks), Lorena Ochoa (158 weeks, Mexico), Lydia Ko (125 weeks, Australia), Zeng Yani (109 weeks, Taiwan) and Park In-bee (106 weeks).

Korda, who has 15 wins in his career, swept major individual titles such as the Player of the Year award and won the Rolex Annika Major Award, which is given to the player with the best performance in major competitions, with seven wins, including the Major Cebron Championship, last year alone. Korda has not won yet this season, but she has been consistently performing well in eight tournaments, entering the top 10 four times, including the runner-up at the opening Hilton Grand Venations Tournament of Champions and the runner-up at the U.S. Women's Open.

Maya Stark of Sweden, who won the U.S. Women's Open, saw her world ranking rise vertically from 33rd to 6th. Choi Hye-jin of Lotte, who tied for 4th at the U.S. Women's Open, also jumped from 45th to 28th. Kim Hyo-joo of Lotte, 29, was the only Korean to be listed in the top 10 list, but fell from 7th to 9th after failing to make the cut at the U.S. Women's Open.
