Nelly Korda is taking a break following a tough season, despite recently reaching her 100th week as world No. 1. A T2 finish at the U.S. Women’s Open highlighted her putting struggles, which severely impacted her performance.
Korda, however, remains motivated. Reflecting on setbacks, she emphasized learning through adversity and leaning on loved ones. Golf remains her happy place, and her passion continues to fuel her recovery as she pushes forward with quiet determination.
A huge part of that support system is her sister, Jessica. Nelly credits her with easing the loneliness of tour life and making early LPGA days less intimidating through companionship and unwavering encouragement.
Despite public attempts to pit them against each other, the sisters maintain a bond rooted in support and humor. Their relationship has never been about rivalry — only love, growth, and the occasional friendly bet on the green.
