If golf had a “main character,” her name would be Nelly Korda—and she’s not just swinging clubs, honey. She’s swinging the entire LPGA into a new era of domination, Dior, and “Don’t talk to me unless you’ve got a major.”
Let’s get this straight: Yes, Nelly Korda is the World No. 1, and no, she’s not sorry about it. With a swing smoother than a glass of 18-year-old scotch and poise that screams “gold medal energy,” Nelly isn’t just the best—she’s the reason other golfers check the leaderboard with anxiety.
Wins? Oh, just casually collecting 10+ LPGA titles, including a major, an Olympic gold medal, and now, a streak that has fans whispering “Is she even human?” Nope. She’s better—she’s Korda-level consistent.
And if you’re wondering “Is she single?”—sorry, stalkers. Nelly’s been in a quiet, high-performance, aesthetically-pleasing relationship with hockey pro Andreas Athanasiou. That’s right: a golf goddess and a hockey hunk. Somewhere, a country club cried.
Net worth? You better believe this girl is cashing seven figures in prize money alone. Add endorsements with Nike, TaylorMade, Rolex, and a sprinkle of social media glow, and you’ve got a walking luxury brand in ponytail form.
Oh, and yes—Jessica Korda is her sister, and yes, she’s also a pro golfer. Talent clearly runs in the Korda bloodstream alongside discipline, muscle memory, and devastating good looks.
So what’s Nelly doing now? Besides winning everything? She’s elevating the women’s game, walking fairways like catwalks, and making golf look like the chicest sport alive. No tantrums. No drama. Just vibes, birdies, and bling.
She’s calm, cool, and clinically destroying scorecards with the grace of a ballerina and the focus of a sniper.
You may not play like Nelly. You may not look like Nelly. But for 18 holes, you can pretend.
