For all the clamour of more co-ed professional golf, the co-sanctioned mixed-team tournament is a beta test for potential expansion into more events with between players on the LPGA and PGA Tour.
The 2023 LPGA season is record-breaking year of lengthy travel – there are a total of 18 times where there are at leasy 3,000 kilometres between tour stops, up from 13 in 2022.
Joe LaCava must have been really anxious to get back out caddieing again. After starting last week working fulltime for Patrick Cantlay on the PGA Tour, Tiger Woods’ former caddie is making a one week cameo on another top-ranked player’s bag: Nelly Korda.
Nelly Korda’s 2022 comeback story seemed to culminate last week when, after suffering a dangerous blood clot in March, she earned her first LPGA win of the season and regained the world No.1 ranking.
It’s been exactly a year since Nelly Korda won on the LPGA, winning the Pelican Women’s Championship last year as part of four-win season that included her first major and, on top of all of that, she won the Olympic gold medal.
Nelly Korda was recently at the Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and had someone film her hitting one at the infamous island green … but the righty did it left-handed.
A nagging injury to the left wrist of Jin Young Ko is leaving the door open for Nelly Korda and Australia’s Minjee Lee to force a change atop the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings for the first time since January.
