“Felt Bad For My Mom”: Despite His Success Now, Nelly Korda Inadvertently Showed Her Grievance for Brother Sebastian’s Career Choice in 2021

The LPGA Tour may have been overlooked during the ground-breaking $3 billion merger, but it’s importance can not be diminished by the mere fact. This is all thanks to remarkable golfers with unmatched passion and devotion such as Michelle Wie West, Rose Zhang, Lexi Thompson, Jessica Korda, Nelly Korda, and many others who kept making history.

The Korda family, in particular, is known not just in the golf community but in the world of other sports as well. While sisters Nelly and Jessica Korda, are turning heads on the golf course, the rest of their family is significantly impacting another highly-acclaimed field.

Growing up as a Korda

Jessica Korda is a household name at this point. Anyone who is remotely plugged into golf can distinguish the Czech-American dame from a mile away. Her golfing skills have helped her earn many accolades over the years. However, she isn’t the only sportsperson in the family.

Her sister Nelly Korda opened up about the family’s love for sportsmanship. Nelly herself has been on the LPGA Tour since her debut event at Sioux Falls GreatLIFE Challenge in 2016. Since then, the younger Korda sister has played at the Tokyo Olympics and even acquired the gold medal, along with winning titles at several renowned golfing events.

In the video, Nelly talks about her brother, Sebastian Korda, who is a Tennis Pro. “My brother actually played hockey, was pretty serious about it,” she said about the ATP’s 28th-ranked player. “All of a sudden [Sebastian] switched to Tennis. But, um… felt bad for my mom because she was the one running around with all of us, like taking us from sport to sport since my dad was on tour with my sister starting in 11 [2011 when Jessica Korda turned Pro]”

Sebastian Korda soon went from the new kid on the tennis court to one of the top contenders for Wimbledon. The 23-year-old tennis pro certainly took after his parents who are both Tennis players. He turned Pro in 2018 and has since played at numerous singles and doubles events, thus improving his ATP ranking. While attaining titles has been a challenge, his dedication makes him one of the best tennis players to watch.

The Korda siblings share a bond

Regardless of the sport they chose to follow, Jessica, Nelly, and Sebastian Korda share a strong bond. Jessica Korda is the oldest, born in 1993, while Nelly Korda and Sebastian Korda were born 2 years apart in 1998 and 2000 respectively. Since the oldest Korda started playing at a young age, their sibling bond was frayed in their early years.

However, as they grew up, the Olympic Gold medalist and her brother were quite close. Eventually, once Nelly Korda joined the LPGA Tour and started playing alongside her sister, they developed a loving bond as well. They may be rivals on the golf links but the sisters always have each other’s backs.

In a house full of athletes, the Korda children grew up to make history on their individual terms. No doubt they have a winning future ahead of them and their fans can’t wait to see them accomplish more accolades.
