Jessica Korda's 2022 campaign has come to an end.

The world No. 16 announced on social media Tuesday that a back injury will sideline Korda for the rest of the LPGA season with two events left.

Korda, 29, said her doctor suggested that if she played through the injury, her recovery would be extended and she'd rather rest up and focus on 2023 — her 13th year on tour.

The six-time LPGA winner recorded six top-10s this season, including a runner-up at the year's first major, the Chevron Championship. She hasn't made an LPGA start since The Ascendant LPGA in late September, where she placed T-24.
