Nelly Korda has announced her withdrawal from the upcoming PNC Championship due to an injury. The decision comes as a disappointment to fans who were eager to see the world-class golfer compete alongside her father, Petr Korda, a former tennis star.
Korda, who has faced challenges with injuries in the past, has been on the road to recovery after dealing with a significant health issue earlier this year. While she had made considerable progress, her recent injury flared up, prompting her team to prioritize her long-term health over participation in the tournament.
In a statement, Korda expressed her frustration at having to step back from the competition, especially one as unique as the PNC Championship, which features family pairings. “It’s disappointing not to be able to compete, particularly with my dad,” she said. “I was really looking forward to sharing this experience with him.”
The PNC Championship is known for its relaxed atmosphere and family-oriented format, allowing professional golfers to team up with their loved ones. Korda’s absence will be felt, as she is not only a top contender but also a fan favorite.
As she focuses on her recovery, Korda has assured her supporters that she aims to return to the sport stronger than ever. Her commitment to healing reflects her determination to compete at the highest level, with aspirations for upcoming tournaments and the LPGA Tour.
In the meantime, fans and fellow competitors will be watching closely as Korda continues her rehabilitation. The golfing community remains hopeful for her swift recovery and return to the course, where her talent and charisma have made a significant impact. For now, Korda’s focus will be on healing and preparing for future challenges in her career.
