World No. 1 golfer Nelly Korda has announced her withdrawal from two upcoming LPGA Tour events due to a neck injury sustained during practice. The 26-year-old was scheduled to participate in the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea and the Maybank Championship in Malaysia. However, she shared on social media that this “minor neck injury” requires her to rest and work on her recovery with her medical team.
This setback comes during a stellar season for Korda, who has won six LPGA tournaments in 2024, including the Chevron Championship, and played a pivotal role in Team USA’s victory at the Solheim Cup. Despite these achievements, she has faced challenges, including injuries earlier in her career and inconsistent performance in recent months. Korda remains focused on recovering in time for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in Florida, where she aims to secure her first title at the event.
For fans, this marks another frustrating chapter, as Korda has had to navigate multiple injuries during her career, including a blood clot surgery in 2022 and other minor setbacks this year. She expressed gratitude for the ongoing support from her followers and reiterated her commitment to returning stronger.
