Nelly Korda Forced To Withdraw From LPGA Tour Events Due To Injury.
The gap between competitive appearances for Nelly Korda is set to extend even further after the World No.1 revealed she had pulled out of her next two LPGA Tour starts due to injury.
Korda last played at the Kroger Queen City Championship in Ohio between September 19-22, going on to finish T5th, and was set to compete at both this week’s BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea and next week’s Maybank Championship in Malaysia.
However, in a social-media post shared on Monday evening, Korda revealed she had been forced to withdraw from the pair of Asian tournaments after sustaining a “minor neck injury” during practice at home.

Posting on X, Korda said: “Hey everyone, I wanted to share an update regarding my upcoming schedule. Unfortunately, I’ve had to withdraw from the LPGA events in Korea and Malaysia due to a minor neck injury I sustained while practicing.
“I’m disappointed to miss these events and am especially sorry to my fans who were looking forward to seeing me play. I’m currently resting and working with my team to get better. Thank you for all your support—it truly means the world to me!”
The 26-year-old has experienced a handful of injuries throughout her career, with Korda suffering a dog bite in June which caused her to pull out of the Aramco Team Series – London event.
Korda also missed a month during the summer of 2023 with back pain and underwent surgery to deal with a blood clot in her arm during April 2022.
The two-time Major champion began this season in record-breaking form, collecting five wins in a row – which included the Chevron Championship – and earning a sixth victory in seven starts at Mizuho Americas Open in May.
