Nelly Korda has decided not to tee it up in this week’s LPGA Tour event “to get some rest” following her recent victory at the Chevron Championship.
Her win on Sunday marked her fifth consecutive tour victory, a feat matched only by Nancy Lopez in 1978 and Annika Sorenstam in 2004-05.
“After grinding through the mental and physical challenges of four events in the past five weeks, I am definitely feeling exhausted,” wrote the world number one on X. “With so much still to come throughout 2024, I feel I need to listen to my body and get some rest, so I can be ready for the remainder of the season.”
Korda’s winning streak began with the LPGA Drive On Championship in late January. Following a seven-week break, she returned in late March to win three consecutive events—the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship, Ford Championship, and T-Mobile Match Play—before clinching the Chevron Championship.
Korda mentioned that she will be “cheering everyone on from afar” during this week’s JM Eagle LA Championship.
Her next scheduled LPGA Tour appearance is at the Cognizant Founders Cup in New Jersey, starting on 9 May.
