For a long time, Nelly Korda has been considered among the top golfers in America. Her impressive form on the field and laurels have been the backbone of that reputation. But so far 2023 hasn’t turned out great for the 25-year-old.

The slump in her performance as a result of her health issues has certainly left fans wondering about what happened to old fierce Korda. She also lost her single positive outcome of being the World’s no 1 golfer recently. In such a gloomy environment, fans were given a reminder of Korda’s ultimate power on the course by her tour.

Last year in the month of March, Korda made public her struggle with a blood clot in her wrist. Despite undergoing surgery to address the issue, the persistent pain continued to trouble her. This enduring discomfort, combined with ongoing back pain, has had a detrimental impact on her performance. The pain was so severe that she had no choice but to withdraw from the inaugural Mizuho Americas Open held this year.

Despite Korda’s earnest endeavors and determination while competing, she has been unable to secure a victory in any LPGA tournaments this year. Her aspirations to shine at significant events such as the Amundi Evian Championship, US Women’s Open, Cognizant Founder’s Cup, and others have not yielded the desired outcomes. Adding to her challenges, her ranking dropped to number 2 after the AIG Women’s Open, with Lilia Vu taking over the top spot following her triumph.
