Jessica Korda is one of the most prominent entities on the LPGA circuit. But as of late, her appearance has been rare on the greens. Besides, whatever updates we received about the golfer were through her social media handle. She even let her fans know the reason behind her hiatus by flaunting her baby bump. Quite evidently, the soon-to-be mom needed to take extra care before the delivery and couldn’t hustle on courses during this pregnancy period. 

Due to her pregnancy status, Jessica even missed the 2023 Solheim Cup. For a long time, fans were eager to know when the star golfer would make an evident return. Finally, it seems like the wait is over!

Jessica Korda was suffering from health issues already, which became a concern in her ongoing golf ventures. This is why the golfer decided to go into rehabilitation back in May. She even withdrew from the Cognizant Founders Cup at Upper Montclair Country Club. 

But later, it was clear that her reason for staying away from golf was not just her health; Jessica was expecting a child as well. She even posted an update a few months ago on Instagram. The picture featured two tiny blue shoes. 

Later, on the Sorrento trip, her baby bulge was quite noticeable in the pictures. Golf fans held their breaths, eager to know when Jessica would next be seen playing. Finally, they have an answer from the golfer herself. On her Instagram, Jessica posted two old videos of herself playing golf. Captioning them, she wrote, ” Miss golf, can’t wait to swing a club in 2024″. 

Quite naturally, a sports star cannot stay away from the action for long. Jessica’s pregnancy didn’t let her participate in the Solheim Cup. But this doesn’t mean she isn’t aware of what’s going on in the golf world. She recently stood up for a fellow American golfer and made headlines

When it came to Jessica’s notice that Lexi Thompson was being trashed by the media, she took to social media and wrote, “So sad seeing golf media, yet again, shred Lexi. It’s easy writing about other people’s mistakes. It’s Golf, bad shots happen- give the girl a break. She grows the game more than anyone on tour… And she’s a great player!” Jessica did her part for the LPGA family, even without being physically present.
