“I’m disappointed to miss these events and am especially sorry to my fans who were looking forward to seeing me play.
I’m currently resting and working with my team to get better. Thank you for all your support – it truly means the world to me!”
Korda, 26, did not say when she plans to return to competition. The Asian swing concludes with the TOTO Japan Classic on October 31-November 3. The season ends three weeks later at the CME Group Tour Championship in her home state of Florida.
