At the 2025 Chevron Championship, it's clear several big names have a lot of work to do if they intend to play the weekend at the first LPGA major of 2025. There will be a 36-hole cut to the low 65 players and ties.

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.
