The LPGA Black Desert Championship 2025 will kick off from May 1-4. The home course for this tournament, Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Utah, will be hosting it this year, too. The event is hyped due to the competitive field it will feature. However, World No. 1 Nelly Korda will not be participating in it.
Korda played well in the year's first Major, which happened in Texas. She tied for 14th place at the Chevron Championship with a total score of 286 (-2). Korda ended up with rounds of 77-68-71-70. Despite this, it appears that Korda will not compete in this year's LPGA Black Desert Championship.
Nelly Korda said in her post-round interview that she is unable to play four tournaments in a row. She claimed that it is physically exhausting for her, which is why she has decided to skip the LPGA Black Desert Championship this year. Korda said in the interview:

"No. I’m just going to keep them. Yeah, I’m playing Scottish for the first time ever this year, not playing anything before Evian, not playing Dow, and then don’t know what’s before KPMG...Yeah, so I don’t do four events in a row. So I’m playing ShopRite this year, but I won’t play Meijer because my body cannot do four events in a row."
Lydia Ko and Charley Hull, in addition to Nelly Korda, will miss this year's LPGA Black Desert Championship due to personal reasons.
