When she’s not smashing golf balls 300 yards down pristine fairways or looking like a runway model in golf spikes, Nelly Korda occasionally drops little nuggets that send fans into a total frenzy. This week? Oh, she casually dropped a truth bomb that’s sent social media into full-blown meltdown: her first major crush.
Now, we’re not talking about a high school sweetheart or some cute neighborhood tennis player. Nope. According to a juicy clip from an interview that has since gone viral, Nelly’s heart first fluttered for none other than—David Beckham.
Yes, the David Beckham. Footballing legend, global fashion icon, and, apparently, the man who unknowingly scored a goal straight into young Nelly’s heart. “I used to tape his matches on the old DVR and rewatch them… but mostly for the close-ups,” she laughed, clearly unbothered by the pandemonium that would follow.
And cue the chaos.
Within minutes, Twitter lit up. “NELLY KORDA AND DAVID BECKHAM NEED TO MEET IMMEDIATELY,” one fan screamed in all caps. Another declared, “I suddenly want to play golf, wear a Man United jersey, and cry.” Relatable.
Let’s not forget: Nelly Korda wasn’t just fanning over his free kicks—she confessed to attempting the Beckham hairstyle on her childhood dog. “Let’s just say our golden retriever did not enjoy having frosted tips,” she giggled. That poor pup.
But here’s where things get juicy. Just last month, Nelly was spotted rubbing shoulders with Victoria Beckham at a fashion event in Miami. Was it a fangirl moment? A coded love triangle? Or just two queens vibing over stilettos and salad? Whatever it was, you can bet someone in the crowd whispered, “She crushed on her husband, didn’t she?”
Naturally, Victoria’s poker face didn’t crack—but sources say she gave Nelly an approving nod when she mentioned “being obsessed with footwork.” Whether she meant golf footwork or Becks’ legendary crosses, we may never know.
And in true Korda fashion, she followed the confession with a perfectly timed Instagram Story showing her kicking a soccer ball—with the caption: “Still working on my footy game.” Translation: crushes may fade, but the flirt game stays strong.
So, while the golf world debates her swing stats, the internet has moved on to the important stuff: Nelly Korda, sports icon, style goddess, and self-declared Beckham fangirl. David, if you’re reading this—just know you’ve got a fan with a mean backswing and a killer smile.
