‘Slowly but Surely’: As the Second LPGA Major of the Year Edges Near, Nelly Korda Drops an Exciting Update on Social Media
World No. 2 Nelly Korda‘s last appearance on the LPGA Tour came at the Founders Cup in early May. That event saw Korda shockingly miss the cut after an impressive streak of eight top-10 finishes in her last nine starts.
Days after the event, the 24-year-old took to social media to announce her withdrawal from June’s Mizuho Americas Open, citing soreness in her back. But, after almost a month of being away from action, the golfer took to social media on Sunday to share an exciting update with her fans!
While Rose Zhang’s heroics at the Liberty National Golf Course earlier this month made waves in the golf community, Nelly Korda’s absence from the field was deeply palpable. After all, the LPGA star had been in stunning form this year until her abrupt withdrawal. Korda has had four top-5 finishes in 2023 so far, including a solo third-place finish at the Chevron Championship in April. Now, fans can very well expect to see the 8-time LPGA Tour winner back in action, as evidenced by her latest social media activity!
This is a great update for fans, especially with the year’s second LPGA major drawing close. This year, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is set to be held at the Baltusrol Golf Club from June 22 to June 25.
Will Nelly Korda play at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship?
In a short period of time, Nelly Korda has emerged as one of the biggest names on the LPGA Tour. The golfing sensation has even claimed a much-elusive major victory, winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2021. Since then, the former World No. 1 has been on the hunt for a second major win. She even came close to nabbing the Chevron Championship in April! Now, it seems like she is readying herself for the fast-approaching second major of the year.
