Unquestionably, Jessica Korda and Nelly Korda have a strong sibling bond. One that the golf world has witnessed time and again, thanks to how appreciative the siblings are regarding each other’s accomplishments.

Hence, when LPGA Tour on Instagram shared a picture of Nelly Korda, Megan Khang, and Alison Lee arm in arm, Korda’s comment mentioning her sister wasn’t really a surprise.

She said, “Missing @thejessicakorda“. While enjoying with her fellow golfers, her sister’s absence was something she couldn’t overlook. This reflects a part of Nelly’s personality and showcases the amazing and sweet sister that she is.

The sentiment from Korda’s comment drew a reaction from her sister as well. Under her comment, Jessica Korda wrote, “@nellykorda I miss my people @thealisonlee@megan_khang”, including the other two LPGA Tour stars also in the sibling’s online display of affection.

The Korda siblings have always been there for each other—supporting, encouraging, helping, and cheering. So, it was only natural for Sebastian Korda’s elder sisters to be there for their younger brother on his birthday; even if it meant an online presence and a beautiful Instagram story.

Nelly Korda found the best way to celebrate Sebastian’s birthday through their cute childhood pictures. The beautiful memories received the caption,” Happy birthday little bro @sebastiankorda. I’ll always try to make you smile even if I have to physically do it myself”. The lines in themselves show a loving side of Korda and how much she adores her baby brother.

The six-time LPGA Tour winner and the oldest of the Korda siblings also shared a @tennistv video, supporting him before he went on the court to perform for the grand slam. Along with the clip, Jessica mentioned, “The youngest sibling turns 23.” In a light-hearted tone, just like Nelly Korda, she also posted a baby picture of Sebastian.
