Fans rally behind Nelly Korda amid breakup rumors—Is she better off focusing on her career?

The Solheim Cup awaits only one day. The biggest competition between Team USA and Team Europe will commence at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. But before that kicks in, the players from both sides have indulged in the Solheim Cup gala ceremony in Virginia. On the red carpet of the event, while many were together with their partners, it cast doubt about Nelly Korda’s relationship status.

Lexi Thompson, who has always been hushed about her relationship and partner, was surprisingly accompanied by a man as in recent days she has hinted about starting a family and getting married. Furthermore, Allisen Corpuz walked hand in hand with her boyfriend, Daniel Eckstorm. On the other hand, Lilia Vu was partnered up with her mother, and Andrea Lee had her father walk with her.

Other stars who their partners accompanied were Lauren Coughlin, Ally Ewing, Sarah Schmelzel, Megan Khang, and Alison Lee. However, according to the post shared on Instagram by the LPGA Tour, Korda was alone on the red carpet as she donned the black dress. This led many in the golf world to believe that the 14-time LPGA Tour winner might have parted ways with her NHL boyfriend, Andreas Athanasiou.

Has Korda actually broke up? Although the LPGA Tour star does not have any pictures with her athletic partner, it was always believed that she was in a relationship with him. However, now his absence on the red carpet has started the rumor and the golf world has come forth with its set of curiosity.

It was not just about coming to the party with a significant other but with a partner. As seen, many had their parents by their side. But Nelly Korda was all. This made one user worryingly ask, “Why is Nelly solo?” As the only person alone on the carpet, the 26-year-old pro’s spirits probably would have been down. Or even if it wasn’t, in the photo shared on Instagram, Korda was not looking as confident. Rather, she was looking down at her dress. This urged one of the fans to cheer for her as they said, “Chin Up Nelly! Proud of you!”

While some were doubting her relationship status and others were a bit upset by the signs of Korda being alone at the Solheim Cup gala ceremony, one user tried to take a funny take on the entire scenario. As it stands, there are thousands of Korda fans, and this fan thought it was a chance to be paired with their favorite star. They jokingly said, “Nelly’s alone? My time to shine & slip on a banana peel.”

Have an interesting take?

The 26-year-old pro’s career has been nothing but impressive. Even this season, Korda won six times on the LPGA Tour, including a major at the Chevron Championship and her career trajectory is only upwards from here. For someone who has such a successful career and many other important things in her life, is not having a man on her side all that matters? Surely not for this fan who commented, “There’s no man good enough for Nelly.”

Many in the comments section were stunned by Korda’s dress as they complimented her looks. Meanwhile, others chimed in to not miss out on the opportunity to learn from the LPGA Tour Pro. Korda is one of the best players of the year on the LPGA Tour, she has been dominating the events for quite a while. So, who could be better to get advice from than her? Alluding to the same, this fan laughingly said, “I could have walked @nellykorda in and picked up some swing tips.”

It remains to be seen if the professional star is in relation with Athanasiou or not but she does not follow him on Instagram which may spark the rumor further that Nelly Korda is probably single.
