Nelly Korda has withdrawn from the upcoming LPGA events in South Korea and Malaysia, citing ongoing struggles with a neck injury. The American golfer, ranked number 4 in the world, was set to compete in the BMW Ladies Championship in Busan, South Korea, and the Aramco Team Series in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. However, due to persistent discomfort and pain in her neck, Korda has decided to prioritize her recovery and withdraw from both tournaments.
Korda revealed that the injury has been bothering her for several months, forcing her to alter her swing and compensating with other parts of her body. This has led to fatigue and strain on her overall game. The 25-year-old is now focusing on rehabilitation and physical therapy to address the underlying issues. “I’m taking it one day at a time, and my priority is getting my neck and body healthy,” Korda stated.
The withdrawals mark a disappointing setback for Korda, who has had a strong season with multiple top-10 finishes. Fans and supporters are wishing her a speedy recovery, hoping she’ll return to the golf course soon. With the 2024 LPGA season winding down, Korda’s primary goal is to regain full strength and be ready for the major championships and key events in 2025. Her management team will provide updates on her progress and potential return to competition.
