Nelly Korda withdrew from the next two tournaments on the LPGA Tour's Asia swing after hurting her neck during practice, she announced Monday.
The tour is in South Korea this week for the BMW Ladies Championship, beginning Thursday. Players will head to the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur for the Maybank Championship the following week.
Fans in those countries will miss the chance to see Korda, the No. 1-ranked player in the world and a six-time winner this season.
"Unfortunately, I've had to withdraw from the LPGA events in Korea and Malaysia due to a minor neck injury I sustained while practicing," Korda posted to social media Monday evening.
