Rose Zhang Withdraws from Chevron Championship Due to Neck Injury

Rising LPGA star Rose Zhang will miss the Chevron Championship, the first major of the 2025 season, due to a persistent neck injury. Zhang has played only a handful of events this year, withdrawing from both the T-Mobile Match Play and JM Eagle LA Championship after struggling with her injury. She began 2025 with a top-10 finish but has since missed a cut and been unable to recover in time for the major. On social media, Zhang described the period as frustrating but expressed optimism about her recovery and gratitude for her support network. Her absence is notable, as she has quickly made an impact in professional golf while also balancing her studies at Stanford. Zhang's withdrawal leaves world No. 1 Nelly Korda as the headline name at the Chevron Championship.
