Nelly Korda, the World No. 1 on the LPGA Tour, has proven time and again why she’s at the top of her game. With an impressive resume that includes an Olympic gold medal and seven victories last year, she is a fan favorite for sure. But if you were to ask her who the best athlete in her family is, Korda wouldn’t pick herself. Instead, she’ll point straight to her brother, Sebastian Korda.

During a recent appearance on 5 Clubs, host Gary Williams asked a fun hypothetical: if the Korda family, known for its incredible athletic talent, all got together in their prime to compete in a series of events—no golf clubs or tennis rackets allowed—who would be the favorite? Without a second thought, Korda gave the title to Sebastian. “I think hands down my brother. He’s definitely the most talented for me. His hand-eye coordination is unbelievable, and he makes everything look so smooth and easy. It’s kind of aggravating, but he’s definitely, I think, the most talented out of all of them.”

Sure, her accomplishments are huge, but her love and admiration for Sebastian are something else. Just recently, Sebastian, a rising tennis star, qualified for the Adelaide International finals for the first time since recovering from elbow surgery. Although he didn’t take home the win, Korda couldn’t have been prouder.

She shared a video on her Instagram story with some proud emojis, clearly cheering him on. It’s not the first time Korda has praised Sebastian. In fact, when he jokingly claimed he was the worst athlete in the family, Korda wasn’t having it. “It’s complete BS. [Sebi] is the best. Honestly, he’s the best,” she said with conviction.

And it’s not just tennis where Sebastian excels. Korda often raves about his natural athleticism in pretty much every sport. “His swing — I’m jealous of his swing actually. It’s crazy. He’s a lefty. He’s a natural righty, but he plays golf lefty. He played hockey lefty. I mean, he grew up playing hockey. He was pretty good at it, too. Like he skates really nicely, plays golf nicely, plays tennis beautifully.” Clearly, Sebastian’s got that rare versatility that Korda admires so much.

The admiration runs deep, and Sebastian certainly deserves the credit. At just 24 years old, he’s ranked No. 15 in the world and has two ATP singles titles and one doubles title under his belt, with over $6.8 million in career prize money. One of his most notable moments came in August 2024 when he won the Washington Open, becoming the first player in ATP Tour history to win the same tournament as his father, Petr Korda, who claimed the same title 32 years earlier.

Well, it’s not just the siblings who shine in sports—talent runs deep in the Korda family.

The Korda family is a talent powerhouse

When we think of the Korda family, it’s hard not to immediately picture Nelly and Jessica Korda—two of the biggest names in women’s golf today. But the Korda family is much more than just two famous golfers; it’s a full-on dynasty of athletes. Take Nelly Korda, for instance. Last year, she bagged an incredible seven wins, reminding everyone why she is the World No. But her success didn’t come out of nowhere—it’s a product of a family legacy built on hard work and skills.

Her father, Petr Korda, was a top-tier tennis player who reached No. 2 in the ATP singles rankings and won the Australian Open in 1998. If that’s not impressive enough, Nelly’s mother, Regina Rajchrtová, was also a highly ranked tennis player, whose career-high ranking on the pro circuit was a respectable No.26, according to the WTA. It’s safe to say that athleticism runs deep in the Korda family’s veins. Then there’s Jessica, Nelly’s older sister, who has made her mark on the LPGA Tour. With multiple wins, including a major victory at the 2012 Australian Open, Jessica’s proven that the Korda name is synonymous with golf success.

And this family isn’t just about individual achievements—they’re also incredibly close-knit. Just look at the 2024 PNC Championship, where the 26-year-old teamed up with her dad, Petr, on the course. The Kordas have built something special, and their legacy shows that talent is a family affair. It’s a mix of genetics, dedication, and a whole lot of passion for their sports.
