World No. 1 Nelly Korda, has had a busy couple of weeks. She competed at the Chevron Championship last month after sitting out the tournament in 2022, going on to achieve a 3rd-place finish. The 24-year-old followed it up with back-t0-back appearances at the JM Eagle L.A. Championship and the recently-concluded Founders Cup.
Given the hectic nature of her schedule, the LPGA star definitely deserves some time away from the greens to relax and recuperate. But Korda clearly wants to stay at the top of her game with a handful of LPGA events and a major approaching, as evident by her latest social media update!

Last month, Korda missed the chance to nab a second major title at the Chevron Championship, as she finished solo third on the leaderboard behind Lilia Vu and Angel Yin. Regardless, the LPGA star’s stellar performance paved the way for her return to the top of the world rankings.
She had a good outing at the JM Eagle LA Championship as well, where she tied for the 6th position on the leaderboard. But, the Olympic gold medallist ended up suffering a setback last week as she missed the cut at the Founders Cup in New Jersey’s Upper Montclair Country Club.
The young golfer, however, is not dispirited by the missed cut and wants to bounce back into form as soon as possible. She even took to Instagram to share a clip of her intensive training process on Thursday.
