World number one Nelly Korda has seen her opportunity to claim the LPGA's Vare Trophy slip away due to an eligibility complication, according to reports published Tuesday.
The Vare Trophy is awarded annually to the player with the lowest scoring average on the LPGA Tour, provided they meet the minimum round requirement. Details of the specific eligibility issue were not immediately disclosed.
Korda, a multiple major champion and Olympic gold medalist, had been in contention for the season-long scoring award before the development.
