Nelly Korda, the world’s top-ranked female golfer, has announced her return to competitive play at The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, scheduled for November 13-19, 2024, at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. This marks her first tournament since withdrawing from two LPGA events in Asia due to a minor neck injury sustained during practice in October.
Korda’s participation in this event is highly anticipated, especially following her impressive performance earlier in the season, where she secured six victories, including a major championship at the Chevron Championship. Her return is expected to add significant excitement to the tournament, which is hosted by Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sorenstam.
In addition to competing, Korda will engage in a nine-hole pro-am round with WNBA star Caitlin Clark, who is making her golf debut at this event. Clark, known for her outstanding basketball career, has expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to play.
Korda’s return to the course is a significant moment for her fans and the golfing community, as she aims to continue her remarkable season and maintain her position at the pinnacle of women’s golf.
