26-year-old Nelly Korda posts picture of her young self

Nelly Korda, the world’s No. 1 female golfer, recently delighted her Instagram followers by sharing a nostalgic image of her younger self with her sister, Jessica Korda. The image, originally posted by Golf.com under the caption “Back in the Day,” was part of a tribute featuring younger versions of prominent golfers.

Nelly, then sporting braces and a golfing outfit, stood alongside her sister, both of whom were pictured at a golf course. This heartfelt post not only highlighted her journey in golf but also resonated with her fans, who enjoyed seeing her early beginnings.

The Korda sisters, who both turned professional in the world of golf, come from a family steeped in athleticism, with parents who were professional tennis players. Nelly and Jessica’s father, Petr Korda, was a Grand Slam champion, while their mother, Regina, was ranked among the top 30 in women’s tennis.

Transitioning from tennis to golf, the sisters trained under Jonathan Yarwood in the Czech Republic, where their passion for the sport grew. Today, Nelly Korda remains a dominant figure on the LPGA Tour, while Jessica, who turned pro in 2010, has taken a break from competitive golf to focus on her new role as a mother.
