Nelly Korda has decided to withdraw from this week’s JM Eagle LA Championship, citing exhaustion and the need for rest after four events in the past five weeks. Despite her recent success at the Chevron Championship, Korda is choosing to listen to her body and take a break before continuing with the remainder of the season.
Korda’s next competition will be at the Cognizant Founders Cup in New Jersey, scheduled for May 9-12. This break comes after an incredible winning streak that saw her join the ranks of Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam as the only LPGA players since 1978 to win five consecutive events on tour. Her latest victory occurred at Carlton Woods, where she won her second major title after playing 25 holes on Sunday.
Although Korda expressed excitement about competing in Los Angeles this week, she ultimately decided with her team to take more time off. When asked about the possibility of setting a new LPGA record with a sixth consecutive win, she acknowledged the achievement but emphasized the importance of enjoying her current success. Korda remains grateful for the opportunity to compete week after week and is hopeful to continue her winning streak in the future.
