After an 18-month hiatus from professional golf, Jessica Korda is finally making her long-awaited return — and she’s doing it in style. The 6-time LPGA champion has confirmed that she will compete at the 2025 AIG Women’s Open, sparking waves of excitement throughout the golf community. Known not only for her powerful swing but also for her charisma and resilience, Korda’s comeback is being hailed as one of the most anticipated moments of the LPGA season.

Korda made the announcement via a heartfelt video on social media late Sunday night. Appearing relaxed but visibly emotional, she expressed how much she had missed the sport — and her fans. “Golf has always been a part of my soul,” she said. “I stepped away for the right reasons, but it’s time to come back and do what I love again.”

What shocked fans even more was her candid reveal of the three key reasons that convinced her to return. The first, she explained, was her physical health. “I’ve spent the last year working with the best medical and fitness team,” she said. “My body feels stronger than ever before. The injuries that held me back in the past no longer define me.”

The second reason, and perhaps the most emotional, was her desire to compete in front of her growing family. Jessica and her husband welcomed their first child in late 2024, and she admitted that motherhood had changed her perspective on everything. “Now, more than ever, I want my child to see me doing what I love. I want to show them what strength, determination, and passion look like.”

Finally, Korda said the third reason was the overwhelming support from fans. “Even when I was off the course, your messages, your encouragement — they meant the world to me. I want to give that love back by stepping onto the fairway and giving it my all.”

Jessica’s return is also reigniting interest in a potential “Korda Sisters Showdown.” With younger sister Nelly Korda currently dominating the women’s circuit, golf fans are eager to see the duo side by side once again. While Jessica downplayed any competitive rivalry, she acknowledged that playing alongside Nelly remains one of her greatest joys.

Reactions across the sports world have been overwhelmingly positive. Social media is buzzing with supportive messages, and several LPGA players have already expressed their excitement at seeing Jessica back on the leaderboard.

The 2025 AIG Women’s Open, set to take place at Royal Porthcawl in Wales this August, now promises even more drama, emotion, and inspiration. With Jessica Korda back in action, fans can expect a powerful blend of experience, heart, and undeniable talent.

One thing’s for sure: Jessica Korda isn’t just back — she’s back with purpose.
