LPGA embarks on 4 week Asian swing without world's No. 1 player

The LPGA is beginning a four-week Asian swing covering four different countries, with world No. 1 Nelly Korda confirmed absent from all four events. Korda, who last competed at the Solheim Cup in September 2026, also skipped the Lotte event in Hawaii. Despite leading the Vare Trophy scoring race with a 69.38 average, Korda will be ineligible for the award due to insufficient rounds played in 2026.
