Multiple LPGA Tour winner confirms first start in more than two years

LPGA Tour star Jessica Korda has confirmed she will make her first start in more than two years. 

The older sister of two-time major champion Nelly (pictured) took a break from the sport in May 2023 after announcing she was pregnant with her first child. 

The 32-year-old married her long-time partner Johnny DelPrete in December 2021 and their son Grayson was born in February 2024. 

Whilst delighted with the news, the 32-year-old said she was itching to return to the elite women's game. 

But Jessica, who represented the United States on three occasions at the Solheim Cup, admitted she did not know how many events she wanted to play. 

Korda has now confirmed that she will return to action at the Grant Thornton Invitational. 

The $4m tournament is a mixed event on the PGA Tour's schedule. 

She will be playing alongside Bud Cauley. Nelly is also in the field and will be teaming up with Denny McCarthy. 

The 2025 Grant Thornton Invitational will take place over 12-14 December at the Ritz-Carlton in Florida. 

Jake Knapp and Patty Tavatanakit will return to defend their titles. 

Former World No.1 Jason Day and Lydia Ko are the pre-tournament favourites.
