Nelly Korda announced late Monday that she was withdrawing from the next two LPGA tournaments.
“Hey everyone, I wanted to share an update on my upcoming schedule. Unfortunately, I had to withdraw from the LPGA events in Korea and Malaysia due to a minor neck injury I sustained while practicing,” she posted on X (formerly Twitter). ).
Korda last played the Kroger Queen City Championship from September 19 to 22, when she tied for fifth the week after the Solheim Cup.
It has been an eventful year for the world number 1. She captured six titles in her first eight starts this season, but is winless since mid-May. In June, she also withdrew from an event due to a dog bite.
Korda did not say when she would return to competition.
The LPGA continues its Asian swing with this week’s BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea. It then moves to Malaysia for the Maybank Championship and Japan for the Toto Classic.
The tour concludes the season with one event in Hawaii and two in Florida.
