World No.1 Nelly Korda has made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut, stepping out of her comfort zone for a beachside shoot in Boca Raton, Florida. The 26-year-old described the experience as both exciting and empowering.
Korda, who dominated the LPGA Tour with seven wins in 2024—including a Chevron Championship victory—embraced the challenge to inspire young women. She emphasized the value of confidence, body positivity, and trying new things.
The 2024 Rolex Player of the Year is the first female golfer featured in the issue since 2012. Korda called it an “honor” to appear alongside other top athletes in the celebrated edition.
