Nelly Korda Withdraws from JM Eagle LA Championship to Rest and Prepare for 2023 Season

World No. 1 Nelly Korda has withdrawn from the JM Eagle LA Championship, citing exhaustion after a grueling stretch of four events in five weeks. The 25-year-old American won a record-tying fifth consecutive LPGA Tour event at the Chevron Championship on Sunday, joining Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez as the only players to achieve this feat. However, Korda felt the need to prioritize her health and rest for the remainder of the season. Her next scheduled tournament is the Cognizant Founders Cup from May 9-12, followed by the U.S. Women’s Open from May 30-June 2.
