Is Nelly Korda playing in the Honda LPGA Thailand 2025? Availability and schedule explored
Nelly Korda will not be playing this week at the Honda LPGA Thailand 2025. The American golfer had a remarkable season playing on the LPGA Tour in 2024, winning seven tournaments.
She started the 2025 season at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and then played at the Founders Cup. However, after playing in two tournaments, the world No. 1 took a break and is not playing this week.
During the press conference for the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions on February 2, Nelly Korda opened up about her schedule and availability for the 2025 LPGA Tour season. She mentioned that she would be taking a break for a few weeks before competing in the Seminole Pro-Member event. Speaking about her schedule for the next few weeks, Korda said (via ASAP Sports):
"Probably a week or week and a half, but I'm going to play the Seminole Pro-Member, so that's cool. I really enjoy playing that. So not too much time off because I don't want to show up too rusty for my partner there."
Meanwhile, this week, LPGA Tour players will tee off at the Honda LPGA Thailand event. The tournament will start with its first round on February 20 and will run through the weekend, concluding on Sunday, February 23, in Pattaya, Chonburi, Thailand.
