The star golfer of the LPGA Tour, Jessica Korda, has been away from the course for a long time now. The reason for this is her pregnancy. Because of this, she has taken a hiatus from playing golf. Thus, the only way to stay connected to her favorite sport is by watching it on television. 

Now, as the golf professional attempts to watch golf, she is encountering some issues. Thus, the bored expectant mother makes an impassioned appeal to the broadcasters regarding her concern. Let’s dive into the story to learn more!

As we already know, the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour are both organizing their fall season tournaments in Asia. For the PGA, the Zozo Championship is currently taking place at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Japan.

On the other hand, the LPGA event — the BMW Championship — is taking place in Seowon Hills, South Korea. Even her sister, Nelly Korda, is playing in the tournament. But alas, Jessica is missing out on all the fun because of a massive difference in time zone. And a pregnant mother cannot stay up late. 

If she can’t watch live action, she can at least watch the highlights. She posted a tweet on her social media highlighting the issue. She wrote: “@GolfChannel can we please get replays of the rounds during the day when both PGA and LPGA are in Asia? I have nothing to watch during the day :(“

The monotony is indeed making her weary and she needs quite a few things going her way in her current state. Now the question is: when is Jessica Korda likely to be back on the golf course?
