Despite Their Close Bond, Elder Sister Jessica Korda Once Spilled the Beans on Nelly Korda’s Nerdy Past

Star athletes, Jessica Korda and Nelly Korda are two of the most loved sporting sisters in the world of golf. The standout siblings hail from Jupiter Island, Florida, and have secured multiple wins at the LPGA Tour. Often, they find themselves pitched against each other, traveling, competing, and enjoying with full zest.

With a five-year age gap between them, the Korda siblings grew up in a sporting family. As an elder sister, six-time LPGA Tour winner Jessica Korda is a guide, mentor and confidante to Nelly Korda. At only 25 years of age, Nelly Korda is the most recognizable player in the LPGA, with eight LPGA Tour victories. Despite sharing a lively bond, Jessica once revealed a secret about her sister, Nelly.

Jessica Korda, who is currently on a break from golf since she is expecting her first child with Johnny DelPrete, once spilled the beans about her sister. During an interview with American sportswriter Alan Shipnuck, the Korda sisters talked about their school days. It was their first-ever joint interview back in 2018, at the Founders Cup in Phoenix.

According to Jessica, while they both loved school, Nelly had a better chance at it. She exclusively declared that Nelly was a nerd. Jessica further added that Nelly liked studying and preferred to stay at home. She revealed that Nelly loved doing homework, and Jessica was never able to wrap her head around it. Despite calling themselves “built-in best buddy,” at times they are at a crossroads due to different behavioral traits since childhood.
