Jessica Korda has a valid point! 

As we already know, the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour are both organizing their fall season tournaments in Asia. For the PGA, the Zozo Championship is currently taking place at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Japan.

On the other hand, the LPGA event — the BMW Championship — is taking place in Seowon Hills, South Korea. Even her sister, Nelly Korda, is playing in the tournament. But alas, Jessica is missing out on all the fun because of a massive difference in time zone. And a pregnant mother cannot stay up late.
