Nelly Korda scored 66, 66, 67 and 67 in the four rounds of the tournament to finish with a score of -14. This was her seventh win in the 2024 LPGA Tour season. In the post-tournament press conference, when asked if 'winning ever gets boring' for her, Korda said (via ASAP Sports):

"No. Never. I mean, you should have felt the nerves that I was feeling on the back nine, and then just after taking some time off with an injury, it feels great to be back out here. Nothing like being in the hunt, the adrenaline feeling on the back nine, and being in contention. I love it so much."

Korda struggled in the front nine of the tournament as she faltered with three bogeys and was two shots behind the leaderboard. However, she rebounded with five straight birdies on the back nine and went on to win the tournament. Reflecting on her performance, she said:

"Yeah, not a lot of happy thoughts at the beginning. But, yeah, I mean, I have such a great teammate. Jay (Jason McDede) and I've been together for I think next year going on our ninth year. Having him by my side obviously helps because he knows what to say when I do get down on myself."

She took home $487,500 for winning the 2024 Annika, taking her total earnings for the year to $4.2 million.

In the post-tournament press conference, Korda's brother and tennis player Sebastian was asked about what kind of competitor her sister was. He said:

"I think competitor, what you see is what you get. She's absolutely fierce. She's clutch. There is no one I guess works harder than her. She's an incredible hard worker and all that she achieves she earns. Just a lot of fun to watch her do her thing."

At the beginning of this month, Korda was also awarded the 2024 Rolex Player of the Year Award for her performance in the 2024 season.
