It’s been a rough patch for world no. 1 Nelly Korda. After taking home the Mizuho Americas Open title in May, she’s been stuck in a trophy drought for six straight events. Just last week, she placed T5 at the Kroger Queen City Championship, but her struggles go beyond the scoreboard—she’s now contending with a neck injury that’s forcing her to bow out of upcoming tournaments. Expressing her disappointment, Korda apologized to fans for the unexpected break, leaving supporters hopeful for a speedy recovery.
But the tabloids aren’t letting up. Hours after sharing her injury news, Korda’s absence stirred up more buzz on social media. Her sister, Jessica Korda, celebrated a milestone birthday for her much-loved Goldendoodle, Charlie, who just turned seven. With fans showering the post with love, one thing was noticeably missing: a reaction from Nelly. No comment, no like—just radio silence.
What’s behind Nelly’s missing shout-out? Some fans wonder if her injury is more serious than it seems, possibly keeping her offline. Others think the pro might be laser-focused on recovery, or simply laying low to recharge. Whatever the case, it’s clear Nelly’s fans and family are eager to see her bounce back, both on and off the course.
