However, that hasn’t kept Korda away from posting regular updates on social media. In her latest story, she uploaded a screenshot with her elder sister Jessica Korda, which unintentionally hints at a comeback to the game.
Nelly Korda shares a hilarious conversation with golf sister Jessica Korda
The eight-time LPGA Tour winner must be on a recuperative journey after plummeting to back issues, which left her out of three successive events. However, it looks like Korda has begun traveling, as she indicated catching a flight in a conversation with her sister.
However, the exchange turned hilarious as Nelly revealed she had no idea about her stay after reaching her destination. “When you’re on your way to the airport and you don’t know where you’re staying,” she wrote on her Instagram story, which was accompanied by a screenshot of her chats with Jessica.

Indeed, while the tete-a-tete between the Korda sisters was fun, it inadvertently revealed a crucial detail about the younger sister’s condition heading into the major championship week.
Will Nelly Korda tee up at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship?
While Korda didn’t reveal her destination through her conversation, it seems like the Tokyo Olympic Gold medalist is flying out to New Jersey. This is due to the upcoming event on the ladies’ tour – the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which will be played at the iconic Baltusrol Golf Club.
Despite being out of the game in recent weeks, it’s a competition Korda would seldom leave out. The 24-year-old won at the tournament a couple of years ago, which marked her maiden major championship trophy.
It also elevated Korda to new heights, where she rose above all to become women’s golf’s leading woman. However, she has failed to add another major title to her resume, something she could accomplish by the next fortnight.
