For nearly a year and a half, the LPGA Tour has been missing one of its brightest stars. Jessica Korda — the 6-time LPGA champion, fan favorite, and fashion icon of women’s golf — has been notably absent from the scene since stepping away due to a persistent back injury.
But now, in a stunning revelation, Korda has finally broken her silence. And what she said has rocked the golf world.
The golf world held its breath when Jessica stepped away in early 2024. Speculation swirled: Was she done for good? Would she follow in the footsteps of other stars who faded into quiet retirement? But behind the scenes, the 31-year-old was quietly rebuilding — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Sources close to Korda reveal that she has been undergoing intense rehab, training in private, and “mentally recharging” after years on tour. “She never really left the game,” one insider told . “She just pressed pause.”
Fans have already taken to social media to express their excitement. “2026 can’t come soon enough!” one tweet read, while another declared, “Jessica Korda’s comeback is the ONLY reason I’m watching the LPGA again.”
If her return does happen, it wouldn’t just be a feel-good moment — it could shift the dynamics of the entire women’s tour. With younger stars dominating the current landscape, Korda’s comeback could bring a powerful mix of experience, charisma, and competitive fire.
Her last win came in 2021, but her legacy as a consistent threat and crowd-puller still holds strong. A 2026 return would mark not just a personal triumph but possibly one of the most talked-about comebacks in modern women’s golf.
So, is Jessica Korda really coming back? If her words are any indication, the countdown has officially begun.
