Nelly Korda has confirmed she has been forced to withdraw from the next two weeks on the LPGA Tour due to a neck injury.
Nelly Korda recently had to withdraw from a tournament due to injury, but she has expressed her commitment to returning to the course soon. She mentioned that she’s focused on recovery and is eager to get back to playing at her best. Fans are hopeful for her swift return, as she remains a strong contender in women’s golf. If you have any specific details you want to discuss or if there’s something else you’re curious about, feel free to let me know!
Korda, 26, took to her social media channels to confirm she will be forced to miss out on this week’s BMW Ladies Championship in Korea and next week’s LPGA Maybank Championship in Malaysia after her latest setback.
The runaway World No.1 has enjoyed her greatest year to date with six victories coming in seven events on the LPGA Tour earlier this season, highlighted by a second career major title at the Chevron Championship in April.
When Korda captured her sixth title of the 2024 LPGA Tour season at the Mizuho Americas Open, her 14th overall on the circuit, she became the fourth player in ladies history to win six or more times in a season before the end of May and the second player to do so in the last 70 years.
Korda also became the third American since 1980 to win six or more times in a LPGA Tour season and the first since Beth Daniel won seven times in 1990.
She then went and helped Stacy Lewis’ Team USA win the 2024 Solheim Cup at Robert Trent Jones GC, a victory that marked Korda’s first win in four attempts in the biennial dust-up against Europe.
The TaylorMade staff player’s game has slowed down somewhat in recent months but she still finds herself with a commanding lead in the season-long Race to CME Globe Rankings as a result of her early season play.
She also holds nearly a five-point lead over Lilia Vu at the top of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
