With many big names in the field, people must be looking forward to Korda clinching a title after her historic run at the beginning of the season. She is returning to the greens after missing last week’s Scottish Open.

Is Nelly Korda making a huge comeback at the AIG Women’s Open?

After a poor performance at the Olympics and after missing the Women’s Scottish Open, Nelly Korda was written off by many. The world’s top female golfer is ready to bounce back from a heartbreaking 22nd-place finish at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she failed to defend her gold medal from Tokyo.
