Jane Park, now aged 38, hasn't played in an LPGA Tour event since 2023. She now makes golf-themed artwork and recently has made some Masters themed paintings. In her recent Instagram story that was reposted by Korda, it featured artwork that was inspired by some of the great moments in Masters history.

One of the four paintings in Park's Instagram story is of Tiger Woods celebrating his iconic chip-in at hole 16 during the final round of the 2005 Masters. Another one is Hideki Matsuyama's caddie bowing to Augusta National after he won the Masters in 2021. Jack Nicklaus's iconic "yes sir!" putt from the 1986 Masters is also included. The fourth painting is of Rory McIlroy after he won the 2025 Masters and threw his putter in the air.

Korda most recently played in the T-Mobile Match Play in Las Vegas at the beginning of April. Korda was eliminated in the group stage, however, after going 1-1-1 in her first three matches.

The week prior, Korda played in the Ford Championship at Whirlwind Golf Club in Chandler, Arizona. She was there to defend her title after she won the Ford Championship in 2024, though it was at a different course in the greater Phoenix area in Arizona.

Korda finished tied for 22nd at the 2025 Ford Championship, finishing eight shots outside of the playoff at 14 under par. She got off to a hot start, but stalled in round three, shooting a one-over-par 73.

Prior to the Ford Championship at the end of March, Nelly Korda took more than a month off from the LPGA Tour. She had last played in the Founders Cup at Bradenton Country Club in Florida at the beginning of February. She finished tied for seventh, nine shots behind winner Yealimi Noh.

The week prior, in her first event of 2025, Korda finished in solo second place at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. A Lim Kim bested her by two shots, narrowly holding off Korda's final round push in which she carded a seven-under-par 65.

Nelly Korda aims to maintain her position as No. 1 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings and return to the winner's circle in 2025.
