WASHINGTON (AFP) – American Danielle Kang, ranked 12th in the world, will be sidelined from the LPGA Tour indefinitely with a tumor on her spine.
The 29-year-old US Solheim Cup veteran announced on social media late on Tuesday she will be stepping away to focus on her health.
“I wanted to have some answers before it became public and unfortunately in many ways, I’ve learned some things just don’t play out as planned,” Kang said.
Kang said she will not compete at this week’s ShopRite LPGA Classic and would not play again before next month’s Evian Championship in France at the earliest.
