‘Slowly but Surely’: As the Second LPGA Major of the Year Edges Near, Nelly Korda Drops an Exciting Update on Social Media

World No. 2 Nelly Korda‘s last appearance on the LPGA Tour came at the Founders Cup in early May. That event saw Korda shockingly miss the cut after an impressive streak of eight top-10 finishes in her last nine starts.

Days after the event, the 24-year-old took to social media to announce her withdrawal from June’s Mizuho Americas Open, citing soreness in her back. But, after almost a month of being away from action, the golfer took to social media on Sunday to share an exciting update with her fans!

Nelly Korda drops an exciting update on Instagram

While Rose Zhang’s heroics at the Liberty National Golf Course earlier this month made waves in the golf community, Nelly Korda’s absence from the field was deeply palpable. After all, the LPGA star had been in stunning form this year until her abrupt withdrawal. Korda has had four top-5 finishes in 2023 so far, including a solo third-place finish at the Chevron Championship in April. Now, fans can very well expect to see the 8-time LPGA Tour winner back in action, as evidenced by her latest social media activity!

Taking to her Instagram stories, the golfer shared a few videos of her practicing on the greens. “Slowly but surely,” Korda wrote in one of the videos, giving fans a glimpse into her resolute mindset.

Will Nelly Korda play at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship?

In a short period of time, Nelly Korda has emerged as one of the biggest names on the LPGA Tour. The golfing sensation has even claimed a much-elusive major victory, winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2021. Since then, the former World No. 1 has been on the hunt for a second major win. She even came close to nabbing the Chevron Championship in April!  Now, it seems like she is readying herself for the fast-approaching second major of the year.

Last month, while shedding light on her back injury, the golfer said that her team was working on a plan to ensure that Korda returned to “100% soon for the remainder of the exciting season.” Given her latest social media activity, fans can expect the LPGA player to return all guns blazing for the Women’s PGA Championship later this month.

After she failed to defend the coveted title last year, Korda will definitely be hoping to win the major a second time this year.
