Why Is Nelly Korda Skipping the Dana Open After Yet Another Major Setback? Her Mysterious Absence Explored
Sandy toes and a sun-kissed nose!” That’s what Nelly Korda has chosen this time around. After a T26 finish at the 2024 Amundi Championship, the 14-time LPGA Tour winner has decided to skip the 2024 Dana Open. The 25-year-old has opted to spend some time away from the greens. Despite a spectacular beginning to the season, the grueling tournament calendar seems to be catching up with Korda. So, what has the two-time major winner opted to do instead of teeing off at the Ohio greens?
Nelly Korda has chosen the European summer to rejuvenate and revitalize. Nelly Legion, an X fan account of the LPGA star, posted a photo of the 25-year-old enjoying her summer vacation. The pro can be seen sporting a bright smile, with pristine blue water glistening in the background. The tweet expressed delight at the smiling Korda, as the caption stated, “Be like NK….Touch grass (or water) and enjoy the summer wherever you are NellyLegion!!“
Nelly Korda has chosen Croatia as her vacation destination. The picture was reshared from the official Instagram account of Nelly Korda, where she could be seen hanging out in the coastal town of Pucisca, accompanied by her two friends, including Croatian pro volleyball player Barbra Dapic.
The last couple of months have been quite tumultuous for Korda, whether on or off the course. From missing three consecutive cuts, including two major championships, the bad spell started at the U.S. Women’s Open, followed by the Meijer LPGA Classic, and finally the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Fans were hoping the 14-time LPGA Tour winner might find her footing again on the European greens. However, a dog bite derailed Korda’s plans to tee up at the London round of the Aramco Team Series.
