Nelly Korda had bid farewell to the course for a short time after her endeavor at the Solheim Cup. Truthfully, the event had stressed Korda mentally and physically out as the heartbreaking American loss disappointed the players and fans alike.
Korda has been off the course for the past 3 weeks and has missed three significant LPGA events. But as the Race to CME continues, the 8-time LPGA winner has decided to grace the green again in a great piece of news for her fans.

The Solheim Cup loss had broken many hearts, especially of the players since Europe did not win the cup but retained it by tying the event. Both sides gave their level best, but Europeans left the event happier of the two. Under pressure, Nelly Korda found herself striving to push her team and her game.
However, her attempts were unfruitful and the Americans failed to stop the Europeans from retaining the hallowed Cup. Since then, Korda, unlike her teammates, had been out of action.
The 1X major champion had missed the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, The Ascendant LPGA Benefiting Volunteers of America, and the recent Buick LPGA Shanghai events. Her time off had properly nourished her as she now will be making a comeback at the BMW Ladies Championship at the Seowon Valley Country Club, Republic of Korea.
