‘Anything She Was Doing’: Nelly Korda, the ‘Annoying Little Sister’ Spills Beans on How She Follows Sister Jessica Korda’s Footsteps

No sibling duo is more talented and popular than the Korda sisters. Both Jessica Korda and Nelly Korda have risen up the ranks to be considered the best on the LPGA Tour. Though the golfing duo may currently be the face of ladies’ golf, their journey began long before they earned their Tour cards. Find out how Nelly exposed herself while revealing why they chose the sport of golf despite being in a family rich in Tennis heritage.

While the sisters have made their surname among the most popular in the 18-hole sport, ‘Korda’ has been a familiar name around the courts of Tennis. Their father, Petr Korda won the 1998 Australian Open and finished first runner-up at the 1990 French Open. He married Regina Rajchrtová, who also happens to be a professional Tennis player.

Sebastian Korda, the brother of the Korda sisters, followed in the footsteps of his parents and became a professional Tennis player. Nonetheless, despite the Kordas always being surrounded by Tennis, how did the girls in the family choose the path of professional golf? Nelly recently spilled the beans before revealing the robust bond with her sister.

Nelly Korda admits to following Jessica’s road to professional golf

The best players on the LPGA Tour are currently competing at the HSBC Women’s Championship. The Korda sisters are also participants at the Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore. Ahead of the event, the duo was asked why the sisters chose golf despite being in a Tennis family.

The elder sister, Jessica Korda first responded by claiming to have always been a viewer of Tennis, but never fond of playing it. “I just did not like playing it”, said the 30-year-old. She added to having a soft spot for golf, gymnastics, and ice skating. However, it was the 18-hole sport that outshined every other sport in her heart. “Golf was the last thing to stick”, said the elder sister.

Jessica ends by saying her love for golf left her younger sister with no choice. However, Nelly countered by saying, “Well, I think I had a choice”. She further added, “I wanted to do anything she was doing”, before labeling herself as an ‘annoying little sister’. Though Nelly may have chosen the path of her sister rather than the rest of her family, it did prove to be the right decision.

The younger Korda now has a Major, an Olympic Golf Medal in golf, and also has held the number one rank in the past. While many around the world refrain from listening to their elder sibling, Nelly idolized Jessica and has become one of the best golfers in the world. Perhaps, if it wasn’t for the elder Korda sister, the golf world would have never witnessed one of the most beautiful golf swings.
