Rickie Fowler Forced to Say ‘Sorry’ to Nelly Korda After His Impossible Decision Under Pressure

Rickie Fowler recently faced a playful yet challenging dilemma when asked to pick between Nelly and Jessica Korda during a lighthearted game of “This or That” with his new teammate Mel Reid.

Reflecting on his close bond with Jessica, who has been a long-time friend and partner in the golf community, Fowler chose Jessica, apologizing to her younger sister, Nelly, with a heartfelt “Sorry, Nelly.” Despite Jessica’s current hiatus due to maternity leave, their friendship remains solid, with Fowler’s choice highlighting the enduring connections that go beyond the golf course.

This isn’t the first time the friendship between Fowler and Jessica has shone through. At the 2023 Grant Thornton Invitational, Jessica came out to support Fowler, dressed in his iconic Sunday orange. Even though she wasn’t playing, she stood on the sidelines with her dog, Charlie, embodying the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie.

Fowler, paired with Lexi Thompson at the time, didn’t secure the win, but Jessica’s supportive gesture spoke volumes about their mutual respect and loyalty. As Fowler teams up with Mel Reid for the upcoming tournament, this long-standing bond with Jessica remains an inspiring example of unbreakable friendship in the competitive world of golf.
