The Draw: Nelly Korda Returns to World No. 1, Fitzpatrick Bros Win

The Draw is a golf tour news podcast by Fairway to Green writers Nathan Rarick and Brian Koefoot.

The Draw’s host Nathan recaps a busy week in golf. Not only did Nelly Korda win her third major championship title, but she also returned to World No. 1 status. However, the LPGA Tour coverage started late Sunday, so we didn’t get to see her complete dominance. Nathan also dives (no pun intended) into the tradition behind the plunge at Poppie’s Pond and how it’s evolved with The Chevron Championship’s new venue.

On the PGA Tour, brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick won the Zurich Classic team event, a life-changing result for Alex that secured his PGA Tour membership through 2028 and entry into key events. On the DP World Tour, Bernd Wiesberger won in Shanghai at the Volvo China Open for his ninth title, ending a winless stretch since 2021.

Nathan then previews the LPGA Tour’s Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba, the PGA Tour’s Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral and the DP World Tour’s Turkish Airlines Open. He also includes some special shout-outs to Stacy Lewis for retiring and Jim Furyk for being named the 2027 Ryder Cup captain.
