The conversation moved beyond competition this week when Lydia Ko and other players across the LPGA shared messages of support following an injury update from one of their own.

Two days ago, Emily Kristine Pedersen, the 2020 individual winner at the Saudi Ladies Team International, shared an update on Instagram confirming that she has been diagnosed with a broken bone after months of persistent pain and medical tests. 

She stated, "Devastated to have discovered this week, after months of pain and MRIs, that I have a broken bone in my left wrist and therefore have to be in a splint for the next four to six weeks."

After the update shared by Pedersen, several players responded directly in the comments.

Lydia Ko wrote, "Sending you love, Em," while Nanna Koerstz Madsen, who has played alongside Emily Kristine Pedersen while representing Denmark at international events, commented, “Rigtig god bedring!”

Support also came from players with long on-course links to Emily Kristine Pedersen. Annabel Dimmock, who has played alongside Pedersen since their amateur days and across the Ladies European Tour, wrote, “Sending you love.”

Pernilla Lindberg, a regular presence with Pedersen in LPGA, LET, and Aramco Team Series events, commented, “Oh no. So sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself and heal well.”

From the LPGA, Yan Liu Tseng, who has been paired with Pedersen in multiple tournament groups, added, “Take care and get well soon.”

Elsewhere, Lydia Ko posted, “Sending you love Em,” while Jessica Korda, Mel Reid, and Gaby Lopez also acknowledged the update.

Besides Ko and the other LPGA player's condolences, Pedersen’s injury update also caught the attention of her Team Titleist comrades.

Pedersen shared a snap of their presents as her Instgram story. Addy and Chloe's hand-written note read, "Emily, We wanted to send a little something to show how much we LOVE having you on Team Titleist. Here's to a super sweet seson. Sending love + support."
