Korda, who was eligible for this year’s Women’s Open under the exemption criteria, withdrew from the event due to health issues. Her lingering back injury has cost her many tournaments this season. The last event she appeared in was the Cognizant Founders Cup. Like Jessica, her younger sister Nelly Korda is also not participating in the event as she herself has not fully recovered from her wrist surgery.
