Nelly Korda has withdrawn from this week’s JM Eagle LA Championship after claiming her second major title and fifth straight victory in The Chevron Championship. Korda’s two-shot victory on Sunday saw her tie the record for most consecutive LPGA wins, with Nancy Lopez in 1978 and Annika Sorenstam (2004-05) the only other women to achieve the feat.
In a statement published on the LPGA’s website, Korda wrote: “Wow! What a week. The win still hasn’t sunk in, but I have truly been overwhelmed by all of the love and support I’ve received.”
Korda’s victory at The Chevron Championship was her fifth consecutive win, tying the record for the most consecutive LPGA wins. She is now set to return to action and seek a sixth straight win in the Cognizant Founders Cup in New Jersey from May 9-12.
