[ASFN Admin]

World No. 1 Nelly Korda is nominated for two awards at Wednesday night's ESPY Awards, including best athlete in women's sports. Korda is nominated alongside hockey player Hilary Knight, skier Mikaela Shiffrin and the WNBA's A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces.

Korda, who won the first two majors of the season, including the U.S. Women's Open at Riviera, is also nominated for "Best Golfer." She's joined in that category by No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 2 Rory McIlroy.

The 2026 ESPYs will air on July 15 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC from the David H. Koch Theater at the Lincoln Center in New York City.

The last time an LPGA player won an ESPY was in 2022, when Korda won for Best Female Golfer. While no LPGA players will be in attendance tonight, a number of LPGA stars have made appearances in the past.
