With the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship set for later this week, fans are officially concerned about Nelly Korda.
Korda, a two-time major winner, is having a disappointing 2025 season if you go by her standards. In 2024 alone, she won seven different tournaments. Although she was close to winning the U.S. Women’s Open earlier this month, she was unable to take down Maja Stark.
While there’ll be plenty of fans pulling for Korda at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, it’s unclear if she’ll be healthy enough to contend.
During this Tuesday’s media availability, Korda was sporting kinesiology tape on her neck. She injured herself while playing a shot from the rough at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco.
“It’s getting better, but yeah, it was not very good yesterday,” Korda told reporters. “Obviously with the injury that I had last year, every single time something kind of flares up in my neck now, I think I feel it a little bit more than what I used to.”
Korda was in enough pain that she skipped Monday night’s champions dinner. Over the past few hours, fans have sent words of encouragement to the No. 1 golfer in the world.
“Prayers for Nelly Korda’s health,” one fan wrote on X.
“Rest up Nelly,” a second fan commented.
“Those roughs on the course were really difficult,” another fan said. “Hopefully the crew will fix the roughs when the first round starts. You will rest your neck and hopefully you will be good for the first round on Thursday.”
Korda has less than 48 hours to get herself as close to full strength as possible.
Even though Korda isn’t fully healthy, oddsmakers have her as the favorite to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
