Failing To Defend Title, Nelly Korda Sums Up Her Body Condition in 8-Word Message Amid Demanding Schedule: ‘My Body Can Not…’

Nelly Korda got off to a tough start at the Chevron Championship, posting a 77 in the opening round. At that point, it looked like she might miss the cut. Fortunately, the two-time major champion turned things around with impressive rounds of 68 and 71 on Friday and Saturday. She put together a solid final round as well, shooting a 70, but it ultimately wasn’t enough for her to capture the title this week, and she finished at T14. After failing to do so, she recently revealed her health challenges.

After the conclusion of the tournament, the golfer joined the press conference and talked about her future plans. First, she talked about her schedule and said, “No. I’m just going to keep them. Yeah, I’m playing Scottish for the first time ever this year, not playing anything before Evian, not playing Dow, and then don’t know what’s before KPMG.” Last year, the number one golfer was absent from the Renaissance Club. She missed the tournament, went to see her family, and enjoyed some time off the greens.

Continuing, she also added that she can’t play four events back to back and summed up her body condition in eight words. “Yeah, so I don’t do four events in a row. So I’m playing ShopRite this year, but I won’t play Meijer because my body cannot do four events in a row,” said Nelly Korda. In 2024, she only played at 17 events on the LPGA tour, and missed tournaments like the Honda LPGA Thailand, HSBC Women’s World Championship, Blue Bay LPGA, and more.

Carrying athletic genes, Korda is clearly aware of her body and mind and plans on giving enough rest to both. One can say it’s also her way to get back on track after riding a roller coaster at the first major of the season. Interestingly, even if she was unable to win the title this week, Korda still remains one of the beloved in the community for her class act at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands.
