Sebastian Korda expresses excitement over his sister Nelly returning to KGPM Women's PGA Championship 2023
Sebastian Korda recently expressed his excitement for sister Nelly Korda on her return to the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
Nelly is set to make her comeback to the PGA Tour after a month of recovery from her back injury. Her last appearance was at the Cognizant Founders Cup in May, where she failed to make the cut. Her back issues forced the 24-year-old to withdraw from several subsequent tournaments until the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
The second major of the year boasts a field of 156 players. Nelly Korda is paired alongside Jin Young Ko and Lydia Ko.
Korda's sole victory at a major Championship occurred at the 2021 Women's PGA Championship. She has yet to secure a win at any LPGA Tour events this year. Her most recent triumph was at the Pelican Women's Championship in November of last year. Before failing to make a cut at the Founders Cup, the 24-year old had an impressive record of six top-10 finishes in seven starts this year.
The LGPA Tour recently took to social media to share a montage video featuring Nelly, announcing her highly anticipated comeback and tee-off time for the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
Sebastian Korda re-shared the video on his Instagram story and declared that that the GOAT was back, referring to his sister.
"🐐 back," Korda captioned his Instagram story.
