Nelly Korda Returns to Action at The Annika After a Long Break

World No. 1 golfer Nelly Korda is returning to competition after a long break this week at The Annika tournament, which will be played at Pelican Golf Club. The tournament can be watched live on Sky Sports Golf.

Korda has not played an official event on the LPGA Tour since the FM Championship in August. This will also be her first start since the Solheim Cup in September. The 28-year-old golfer had won three times in her previous six appearances at The Annika. If she wins for a fourth time this week, she will earn a place on the LPGA Honors List. She is also seeking her fifth win of the season.

Reflecting on the long break, Korda said: "Eight weeks. I don't remember taking such a long break. It was nice, but I started getting impatient to return around the halfway point." Korda said she needed rest due to fatigue and burnout. Recalling that she had previously been sidelined for longer periods due to injury, Korda said she has now learned to listen to her body. Korda also noted that she recently won the Player of the Year award for the second time.
