World No. 2 Nelly Korda announces she’ll return to competition after four months away at next week’s U.S. Women’s Open

It’s official. Nelly Korda is back.

The world No. 2 posted on Instagram Friday: “See you guys @uswomensopen next week.”

Korda last teed it up on the LPGA in early February at the LPGA Drive On Championship. She has finished T-15, T-20, and T-4 in three starts this season and missed the first major of the year.

This year’s U.S. Women’s Open will be played June 2-5 at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in Southern Pines, North Carolina.

Korda won four times on the LPGA in 2021 as well as Olympic gold in Tokyo and was named Female Player of the Year by the Golf Writers Association of America.

The 23-year-old underwent surgery for a blood clot in a subclavian vein in her left arm and posted her first range video on May 19. She is scheduled to meet with the media at 10:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday at Pine Needles.

This will be Korda’s eighth Women’s Open appearance. She has missed the cut in her last two USWO starts. Her best finish, a share of 10th, came in 2018 at Shoal Creek.
