Nelly Korda is one of the most popular names on the LPGA Tour. The 24-year-old is currently the world’s No. 1 female golfer. She certainly is skilled and athletic, but perhaps that runs in her blood. The Korda family has an athletic gene. Nelly’s siblings are all athletes. And her mother and father are former professional sportspersons too. This leads one to wonder how interesting family get-togethers are. Korda addressed the question in a recent interview saying, “It’s very boring.”

She pointed out that since they all have busy schedules and their own lives, they don’t get a lot of time together and said, “So whenever we are together, we just like to spend some quality time together away from everyone.”
Many fans would expect the three siblings to be partying or having a blast, but Nelly dismissed those ideas. She said, “Honestly, we just chill and watch TV or just talk.” Korda said she knew it was quite boring, but the family preferred it. “We like it,” she said.
