On May 28, 2023, Jessica Korda announced that she would be taking an indefinite break from golf due to a back injury. The 31-year-old has since recovered, had a baby, enjoyed the responsibilities of motherhood, and will watch her son turn 1 in the next couple of months.
Well, it’s safe to say that Jessica Korda has been through an incredible life-changing experience over the past 1.5 years. But have things changed so much that the elder Korda sister is not planning to return to the LPGA Tour?
Well, as per reports, Jessica Korda has hinted at making a comeback several times now. More recently, she was back to swinging clubs as she participated in the 2024 US LBM Foundation Charity Golf Tournament over a month ago. This is definitely a positive sign as there can be an eventual return of her.

However, as per a story shared by her a few minutes ago, it seems that Jessica Korda has gone back to motherhood for now. At least for the moment when she realized that her son, Greyson John DelPrete is going to turn 1 on February 3, 2025. Yes, that is only a few weeks from now!
The caption read, “There’s certain things I’m just not ready for… and the fact that we’re coming up Greyson’s 1st birthday is definitely one of them.” It seems that the 6x LPGA Tour winner was so busy being a mother that she didn’t realize that it’s been a year of her doing so.
Korda definitely wants to savor every last moment she has with her son before she commits to golf again. However, watching her son grow up so quickly might pull her back from stepping onto the course any time soon. Maybe her participation in the 2024 US LBM Foundation Charity Golf Tournament in October was not enough to convince her to wear the gloves again.

Is Jessica Korda coming back to the LPGA Tour?
Back in October 2024, around the same time when Jessica Korda participated in the charity event, she also shared an Instagram post driving off on a course. The caption for the post read, “Haven’t hit balls since May 2023… So an emergency FaceTime with @nellykorda to talk fundamentals and 💥 boom 💥 mom’s still got it — minus the camera angle.. that needs improvement.” That got fans excited as they acknowledged her excellent swing and also started speculating that she was coming back.
More recently, since the 2024 LPGA Tour season has commenced, Nelly Korda has been busy catching up with her sister. The two also stepped on a golf course as world no. 1 tried to help Jessica Korda find her swing back. This further adds to the rumors of her return to professional golf in the near future.
