Injured Nelly Korda withdraws from International Crown
Nelly Korda, tees off during the Queen City Classic Final Round on Sept. 14, 2025, at TPC River's Bend in Maineville, Ohio. World No. 2 Nelly Korda has withdrawn from the upcoming Hanwha Lifeplus International Crown, per the LPGA.
While the LPGA only cited "an injury" for Korda, the two-time major champion and former World No. 1 player told reporters on Saturday that she was "definitely worn down."
Yealimi Noh has been tabbed to replace Korda and will join Angel Yin, Lauren Coughlin and Lilia Vu for the Americans in the team competition from Oct. 23-26 in South Korea.
"I would say by this time of the year my body is definitely worn down," Korda said after finishing in a tie for fourth place at the Lotte Championship last weekend.
"I do have some injuries I've had in the past that kind of linger that are never really fully resolved, that you still do PT on every single day, you do therapy."
Korda, 27, has yet to win a tournament in 2025 after capturing seven titles last year.
Also, Patty Tavatanakit withdrew from the event and will be replaced by Pajaree Anannarukarn on defending champion Thailand. Anannarukarn will join Jeeno Thitikul, Ariya Jutanugarn and Chanettee Wannasasen.
