In 2022, the Bradenton, Florida, native announced she had a blood clot in her arm. She returned to play later in the year and successfully defended her title at the Pelican Women’s Championship.
In 2023, Korda missed a chunk of the season with pain in her back, yet came out of the gates flying in 2024.
Korda opened the year with five consecutive victories, including her second major title at the Chevron Championship. Korda was just the third LPGA player to ever win five consecutive events. Only Annika Sörenstam (2004-2005) and Nancy Lopez (1978) were the others to do it.
