“Here’s to making more bets” – LPGA icon Nelly Korda’s special message to her caddie

Nelly Korda, a 14-time LPGA Tour winner and currently ranked as the World No. 1 golfer, recently took a moment to honor her caddie, Jason McDede, on his 40th birthday. McDede has been a key figure in Korda’s career, contributing to her six victories this season alone.

On Instagram, Korda expressed her gratitude and appreciation for McDede, saying, “Man that wears many hats in my life, here’s to making more ‘bets’ on the golf course.” Their partnership, which began in 2018, has led to numerous successes, including her recent fifth-place finish at the Kroger Queen City Championship and her current lead in the CME Race to the Globe standings.

Since joining forces, Korda and McDede have captured 14 LPGA Tour titles, three Ladies European Tour victories, and even a gold medal at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. McDede, who previously worked with other notable players, has become an integral part of Korda’s rise to stardom. This year, they’ve won six titles in seven starts, including a remarkable five consecutive victories. Their partnership is one of the most successful in recent LPGA history, with Korda continuing to dominate the course as she heads toward the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida.
