There is only so many hours you can go out and practise and beat balls. “I’m very excited to be back. I think it’s more the rejuvenation of being really motivated to come back out, and sometimes when you play a lot and you travel a lot, you start to get a little stagnant. “I’m not saying you’re not driven but you just get a little tired, a little worn out, your body gets a little drained.”When you do take that time to have a little bit of time for yourself to re-energise your batteries, you’re very motivated to come back and play against the best players in the world and test yourself. , which may be using cookies and other technologies.

“I wanted to give my body a little bit of a break. It wasn’t feeling too great. Last time I put myself into that position I ended up injuring myself and was out longer, so I would say that as I gotten older I’ve learned to listen to my body.”Sometimes I just have to take that break. A lot of people may not agree with it.
I have to really listen to myself and know what’s best for myself.”Korda recently clinched her second player the year award after another year of excellence.”Obviously it’s not just me but it’s my entire team behind me. I’m the one hitting the shots and grinding, but there is so much that goes on behind the scenes.”I’m very grateful and also so thankful for everyone that has been with me through the ups and downs.”Winning it in 2024 and having a little bit of an off year in 2025 and getting back to it in 2026, to me that’s a testament of the people that I have behind me through the ups and downs just lift me up.”I’m honoured and hopefully that continues to push me forward.” , which may be using cookies and other technologies.

Hull: I just need to hole some puttsBritain’s Charley Hull has played well at Pelican Golf Club with top-five finishes the past two seasons, including a runner-up finish behind Korda in 2024.”I just had one week at home after Malaysia [Maybank Championship] and I was pretty much in bed by 6pm every day,” Hull said on Wednesday.”The jet lag got the best of me. The weather has gone foggy and cold at home but I love that kind of weather, so we’ve just been playing nine holes and just prepping as much as I can for these two weeks.”These are my favourite two weeks of the year.
Image: Britain’s Charley Hull also spoke to media on Wednesday, and was runner-up at The Annika in 2024 “It would be nice to get a win. Obviously I’ve won round the golf course next week back in 2016 and come second here, so hopefully I can get it going because I like the two weeks.”I just need to hole some putts. I played so well in Malaysia but didn’t putt that well. Still resulted in a top-10 finish but if I just get the putts rolling it should be a good week.”I just need to go out there and have fun.
