Nelly Korda shared a glimpse of her routine this week, posting photos from a demanding leg workout on social media.

On February 26, the World No. 2 posted a five-photo carousel on Instagram showing different parts of her day. Some pictures showed her working out in the gym, while others captured her practicing on the course. She also included a mirror selfie with her dog Ollie and a close-up shot of herself wearing sunglasses.

She captioned the post:

“👋🏼 A little bit of Ollie and a lotta bit of leg day”

Nelly Korda regularly gives fans a peek into her daily routine, often posting practice clips and workout sessions. Just a day earlier, she shared a short Instagram story from her home gym where she was performing a single-leg Romanian deadlift.

The update comes while the LPGA Tour is in Singapore for the HSBC Women’s World Championship at Sentosa Golf Club. It is the second consecutive event Korda has skipped after also sitting out the Honda LPGA Thailand the previous week.

Her lighter schedule this year is deliberate. After playing a heavy calendar in 2025, Korda said she wants more rest and does not plan to compete more than three weeks in a row.

So far in 2026, she has played only once, winning the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions at 13 under par.


When could Nelly Korda return to competition?

Nelly Korda has not announced her next start, but upcoming events on the LPGA calendar offer a few possibilities. She played both the Cognizant Founders Cup, scheduled this year from March 19 to 22, and the Ford Championship, set for March 26 to 29, last season, so those tournaments could again be options this year, although nothing has been officially confirmed.

One event already on her schedule is the MÉXICO Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba, set for April 30 to May 3 at El Camaleón Golf Course. It will mark her debut at the tournament and her first LPGA appearance in Mexico. The field is expected to feature Lydia Ko along with Mexican stars Gaby López, Isabella Fierro and María Fassi.

Nelly Korda began the season with her win in Orlando, the 16th title of her career, including two major championships.

She was also highly consistent last year making the cut in all 19 events she entered and recording nine top-10 finishes. Those results included runner-up finishes at the season-opening Tournament of Champions and the U.S. Women’s Open.
