Nelly Korda had one of her best seasons in golf in 2024, winning seven LPGA Tour titles in 16 starts. However, her sister Jessica hasn't made an LPGA outing since withdrawing from the Cognizant Founders Cup in May 2023. Now, the 31-year-old is aiming for a return in 2026.

Having established herself in the circuit, Jessica faced a major setback due to a back injury. She also took time off for the birth of her first child, Greyson, on February 3rd, 2024. It is pertinent to note that the LPGA Tour’s maternity policy allows players to break up to 24 months from the date of the child’s birth. The six-time LPGA winner is now looking to return to the circuit.
