Beyond the physical aspect, Nelly might not be in the best headspace to engage with social media right now. After all, a disappointing loss combined with the emotional weight of an injury can be tough to handle. More than just physical rehab, she’s likely on a journey to rediscover mental peace and recalibrate her mindset. Sometimes, stepping back from the limelight is exactly what athletes need to focus on the road ahead and handle the uncertainty of their future.

But the most telling reason comes from Nelly herself. In a heartfelt message, she shared just how devastated she was by her situation. She revealed that she would miss the upcoming events in Korea and Malaysia due to the injury, which, unfortunately, occurred during practice—making it even more frustrating since it happened in a controlled environment. Her apology to her fans speaks volumes about how eager she was to return to the course and get back to winning. It seems like the disappointment is weighing heavily on her, and she just might not have the energy right now to publicly celebrate her sister, Charlie, despite her love and support for her.

Whatever the reason, it’s only a matter of time before Nelly reappears and shows her love for her sister’s success. In the meantime, we wish her a speedy recovery and can’t wait to see her back in action soon.

With Nelly sidelined for the next couple of events, the door is wide open for another LPGA pro to step into the spotlight. Who do you think will dominate the Asian swing of the LPGA Tour? Let us know your predictions in the comments below!
