Korda Sisters make History: Jessica and Nelly Korda will become the first siblings in history to represent the United States at the Solheim Cup

Jessica and Nelly Korda are set to make history this weekend as the first siblings to represent the United States at the Solheim Cup, taking place at Gleneagles in Scotland. Jessica, 26, will be making her second appearance for Team USA, while 21-year-old Nelly will debut in the prestigious event.

The sisters, who both hail from Florida, have already solidified their places in golf history, with both winning LPGA Tour events and becoming the third set of sisters to achieve this feat, following the Jutanugarn and Sorenstam sisters.

With their strong bond, the Kordas are likely to bring a unique dynamic to the competition, especially if they are paired together in the fourball or foursomes, a prospect teased by USA captain Juli Inkster.

The Korda sisters are not new to teamwork, having successfully competed together at the DOW Great Lakes Bay Invitational, where they tied for 12th place and finished with an impressive final round score. Their consistent and complementary playing styles have given them a strong advantage, and both are eager to continue that momentum into the Solheim Cup.

For the United States, the upcoming matches will be crucial as they aim to defend their 2017 victory over Europe. Jessica and Nelly’s close relationship, built on mutual support and understanding, could be a key factor in helping Team USA secure another win.
