Korda is clearly a show lover. The number of different shoes the 24-year-old wears on the course is every sneaker lover’s dream. She has been spotted multiple times wearing an unreleased golf shoe while on the course.
Recently, a fan spotted her beautiful shoes on the course and tweeted, “She is wearing an unreleased model of Air Jordan 1 golf shoes at this week’s CME Group Tour Championship.”

Nelly once showed her love for her shoes when she had to play a shot out of a water hazard. The world no. 1 removed her shoes and set them aside before diving into the water and playing the shot. The American ended the hole at a par. She certainly has brilliant skills to go with her shoes.
Believe it or not, @NellyKorda ended up scoring a par on this hole!

Fans seem to speculate the young golfer has some sort of collaboration with Nike because of the number of Nike golf shoes she owns and the fact that she’s often seen wearing some Nikes on the course before their release. It’s safe to say that Nelly’s fanbase now probably includes many sneakerheads as well.

The CME Group Tour Championship began on the 17th of this month. The tournament’s second round ended yesterday, with Nelly finishing at T-3. She currently trails behind Lydia Ko, who saw her round end with a total score of 13 under par, and Hyo Joo Kim, who is ahead of Korda by just a stroke.
Nelly recently won her first LPGA Tour event this year, the Pelican Women’s Championship. She began the CME Championship looking to take home the $200,000 cash prize. She needs to gain an advantage in the third round today if she hopes to battle it out with Ko for the win. But with Ko ahead of her by six strokes, it won’t be an easy feat.
