Nelly Korda Withdraws from Asian LPGA Events Due to Neck Injury

The world’s top-ranked female golfer will miss the BMW Ladies Championship and Maybank Championship, impacting her Vare Trophy eligibility.

Nelly Korda, the top-ranked female golfer, has withdrawn from two upcoming LPGA events in Asia due to a neck injury sustained during practice.
Korda's withdrawal from the BMW Ladies Championship and the Maybank Championship means she will not meet the LPGA's 70-round requirement for the Vare Trophy.
Despite missing these events, Korda still holds a significant lead over Lydia Ko for LPGA Player of the Year and the Race to CME Globe.
The BMW Ladies Championship will feature a strong field, including top contenders like Minjee Lee, Haeran Ryu, Ayaka Furue, Lydia Ko, and Ruoning Yin.
The tournament is set to take place at the Seowon Hills course in South Korea, known for its challenging par-72 layout.
