Nelly Korda, the world’s second-ranked female golfer, has announced her withdrawal from the upcoming International Crown tournament due to an injury. This decision comes as a significant blow to Team USA, which will now have to adjust its roster ahead of the prestigious event in Korea.

Korda's absence is particularly notable given her status as one of the top players in women’s golf. She has been a key figure in recent competitions, and her performance has often been pivotal for the American team. In her place, Yealimi Noh has been called up to represent the USA, marking a critical opportunity for the young golfer.

The International Crown, scheduled for later this month, features teams from various countries competing in a match-play format. Korda's injury not only raises concerns about her fitness but also highlights the physical demands placed on elite athletes in the sport.

As Korda focuses on her recovery, the implications of her withdrawal will be closely monitored by fans and analysts alike, especially considering her potential impact on the tournament's outcome.
