Amid Nelly Korda’s LPGA Tour Slump, an Honest Heartening Tribute Brings a Smile to Her Face
Nelly Korda, LPGA Tour’s cover girl’s professional luck on the greens this year has been a hard nut to crack. The 2023 season marks the golfer’s first winless LPGA Tour year since her debut. The player has taken part in 18 LPGA tourneys this year—making a cut in 16 of them, winning none, and so expectedly, things on the pro greens haven’t been looking so great.
Amid this tussle, a tribute has brought happiness to Korda’s face. In the recent series of off-teeing events, a special someone has sent in a tribute to Korda. Recouping from hard times, the message has brought a bright smile to Korda’s face. Who could this thoughtful sender be?
Nelly Korda’s performance post-injury has definitely landed her in the top 10, but the crown of the leaderboard has been a hard miss this year. The biggest LPGA Tour event that the player took part in this year was the Solheim Cup. Immediately after Team USA’s defeat, Korda took a three-week hiatus from the pro golfing realm without prior notice.
During her time off the swinging greens, fans saw Korda doing volunteering work, and soon after the player re-surged into the public eye. Post her break, Korda participated in a number of events—BMW Ladies Championship, Maybank Championship, Annika driven by Gainbridge in Pelican—and secured herself a top 6 spot in all.
