Olympic gold medalist Nelly Korda announced on social media that she has a blood clot and will miss an unspecified amount of time. The world No. 2 skipped the LPGA’s spring Asian swing and was in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, on Friday for a photoshoot and commercial appearance.
“After a typical morning workout, my arm started to feel like it was swelling,” Korda, 23, posted on her social media accounts.
“At the advice of my doctor, I went to the Emergency Room as a precaution. I was diagnosed with a blood clot. I am currently at home getting treatment to eliminate further risks. I will communicate my status as and when there is more information. In the meantime, I want to thank everyone for their support and ask for privacy for all out family during this time. I hope to be back soon. Thank you.”
