Nelly Korda will not compete in the year’s first major. The field for the Chevron Championship closed on Tuesday at 5 p.m., and a tournament official confirmed that the No. 2-ranked player had not filed an entry.
Korda, 23, announced on social media on March 13 that she’d been diagnosed with a blood clot in her arm and that she was at home resting. She’s also not in the field for this week’s JTBC Classic in Carlsbad, California.
“I am currently at home getting treatment to eliminate further risks,” Korda wrote.
