Motherhood is a journey like no other, and for Jessica Korda, it’s been a wild ride filled with laughter, tears, and lots of love. But what happens when you’re a retired professional golfer navigating life as a new mom? Well, let’s just say it’s a challenge that requires patience, dedication, and a sense of humor.

As Korda is learning firsthand, being a new mom is all about embracing the chaos and finding joy in the little things. “It’s a constant cycle of this at the point,” she recently captioned a photo of her adorable son on her Instagram story, Greyson John DelPrete, playing with toys and making a mess everywhere. After retiring from professional golf, Korda is now focusing on her new role as a mom, and it’s wonderful to see her sharing her experiences with such humor and humility.

Recently, Korda shared that Greyson has come down with his first fever and cold, and it’s been a sleepless few days for both mom and baby. “Took seven months but we’re down with his 1st fever/cold,” she wrote, adding a bawling emoticon to express her emotions. Korda’s fans are loving the updates on her life as a new mom, and it’s great to see her enjoying this new chapter. While she’s been busy with motherhood duties, her professional career has been on pause for over a year.

As she shares snippets of her life with Greyson, many wonder when she will return to the greens. For now, though, it seems Korda is happy to focus on her family and enjoy this precious time with her son.

Jessica Korda is expected to make a return in 2026

Jessica Korda is eyeing a return to golf, but fans will have to wait a bit longer. The six-time LPGA winner has been on an indefinite hiatus since May 2023, first to heal a nagging back injury and then to focus on her pregnancy and motherhood. Now, with her son Greyson’s first birthday approaching in February, Korda is slowly getting back into the swing of things. She recently started hitting golf balls again and, as expected, it’s been a bit of a challenge. “Definitely sore,” she admitted, laughing about how her shoulder, forearm, wrist, and glute muscles all protested the sudden return to action.

Despite the rust, Korda is excited to get back to competing, but she’s not rushing into anything. She’s given herself a timeline of 2026 to make her return, and for now, she’s focusing on enjoying life off the course. “For me, it’s my son’s milestones that get me excited right now,” she said, gushing about how much she loves being a mom. While she’s looking forward to getting back to golf, Korda is also embracing the challenges and joys of motherhood, even if it means sacrificing a bit of sleep. With a year to go before her planned return, Korda is taking things one step at a time, and fans can’t wait to see her back on the course.
