Despite Older Sister Jessica Being the Biggest Cheerleader, Nelly Korda Faced a Cold Reality in Her Rookie Days as 5-Year-Old secret Surfaces 1day before Solheim Cup
Nelly Korda, despite her undeniable talent, faced challenges early in her career that even her biggest supporter, older sister Jessica Korda, couldn’t shield her from.
Jessica, who debuted on the LPGA Tour at 18, had already paved the way in the world of professional golf.
As the eldest of the Korda siblings, she served as an inspiration to Nelly, who followed in her footsteps. However, in a candid interview with Alan Shipnuck in 2018, Jessica revealed her decision to step back from Nelly’s early professional journey, allowing her younger sister the space to develop her own identity.
Jessica explained that she didn’t want Nelly to be overshadowed by her presence, encouraging her to find her own path and friends in the competitive world of golf.
Now both accomplished athletes, the Korda sisters are in different phases of life. Jessica, who is expecting her first child, reflects on her career from a different perspective, while Nelly continues to pursue success on the LPGA Tour. Despite a challenging 2023 season without a single victory to her name, Nelly is determined to close the year on a high note.
As she competes in The Annika, an event she has won twice before, she hopes to make history with a third consecutive victory. With a new approach and renewed determination, the golfing world watches closely to see if Nelly can overcome the setbacks of the season and return to the winner’s circle.
