Nelly Korda returns at The Annika with LPGA Hall of Fame place in reach

Nelly Korda returns to competition this week at The Annika, an LPGA Tour event at Pelican Golf Club.

The world No.

1 has not played on the tour since the FM Championship in August and last competed at the Solheim Cup in September.

A fourth win at The Annika would secure her a place in the LPGA Hall of Fame; she has won the event three times in six previous starts.

Korda said she took an eight-week break to rest and avoid risking an injury after her body was not feeling well.

The break was intended to help her recharge after a demanding schedule of playing and travel.

She is also seeking her fifth win of the season and recently received her second Player of the Year award.

Her next test is competing again against the world's best players at The Annika.
