Korda to miss rest of LPGA season

Six-time LPGA winner Jessica Korda said on Tuesday that she will miss the rest of the LPGA season with a back injury but expects to return “healthier and stronger” next year.

There are two events left in the LPGA’s 2022 season starting with this week’s Pelican Women’s Championship in Florida, where Korda’s younger sister Nelly Korda is the defending champion, and the Nov. 17-20 CME Group Tour Championship.

“Playing anything further would have made my recovery a lot longer, so per doctor recommendation and talking to my team, we’ve decided that this is the right call,” Korda, 29, wrote on social media.
