Before announcing her pregnancy, Korda announced a period of hiatus from the LPGA Tour owing to back pain. Also, the player last appeared at the Cognizant Founders Cup, where she had to withdraw.
The Korda family rejoiced in this good news a week after junior Korda, Nelly, lifted the trophy of the LPGA Drive-On Championship, her ninth LPGA title. She knocked off Lydia Ko in the playoffs, which was a tough round and it almost put Jessica in labor. This even created a joke in the golf community.
Jessica posted this banter on her Instagram, saying, “I really thought this may put me in labor today.” Thus, the Korda family has a lot to celebrate this month!
