Nelly Korda is making headlines both on and off the golf course. The 26-year-old LPGA star recently secured her seventh victory of the season, bringing her career total to 15 wins. Alongside her dominance in golf, she was named LPGA Tour Player of the Year and won the prestigious Rolex Annika Major Award.
Adding to her remarkable month, Korda also made her debut with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, stepping into a new realm of the spotlight.
In early November, Korda traveled to Boca Raton, Florida, for an exclusive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photoshoot with photographer Ben Horton. The results have been nothing short of breathtaking.
Though her full spread will be released in the 2025 edition, the magazine has already offered fans a sneak peek. Posing confidently on the beach, Korda exuded grace and elegance, appearing as if she had years of modeling experience.
Despite her natural presence in front of the camera, Korda admitted the experience was outside her comfort zone. Speaking with NBC Sports, she described the shoot as an exciting challenge.
“I’m not used to doing anything like that,” she shared. “But that’s what’s great about these opportunities—you get to step outside your comfort zone and try something different.” She praised the SI Swimsuit team, calling them “amazing” and expressing gratitude for the experience.
Beyond her success in modeling, Korda continues to dominate the LPGA Tour. Her latest win makes her the first golfer since Yani Tseng in 2011 to achieve seven victories in a single season.
Reflecting on her journey, she told ESPN, “It’s been a crazy, fun year, full of ups and downs, but I’m so grateful for my team.
” As she continues to break barriers in sports and beyond, Korda’s star power only continues to rise.
