Nelly Korda stunned fans by appearing in the *Sports Illustrated* Swimsuit Edition, marking a dramatic shift from her usual golf attire. The world’s No. 1 golfer debuted a chic new hairstyle and swimsuit look, turning heads across both fashion and sports worlds.
Florida-based stylist Madi Carter proudly shared the transformation on social media, calling Korda’s look “perfect & effortless #surferblonde.” She revealed the new hair color had been growing out for six months, praising how beautifully it captured in the SI photoshoot.
This marked the first full public reveal of Korda’s new hair, as she’s typically seen wearing hats during golf tournaments. The SI shoot allowed fans to admire her fresh look in its unfiltered form, free of course-day elements.
Korda joined other athletes like Jena Sims and Olivia Dunne in the Swimsuit Edition, embracing this moment to inspire young women. She expressed that golf gave her a platform to empower others and live a life she loves, both on and off the course
