When you talk about the most athletic family in golf, no one can surely miss the Korda family! From their parents to all three siblings, they are successful in all fields. Currently, as Sebastian and Nelly Korda take on the world, their oldest sibling Jessica Korda has been watching from the outside the ropes. The 6-time LPGA Tour winner has been enjoying motherhood and revealed that she is not in a hurry to make a professional comeback until her son turns two.
While the eldest Korda went on about her life as a new mother in the latest episode of the LPGA Podcast, she also talked about her siblings and her differential dynamics with them. The host Emma Tally praised Jessica Korda and how she paved the way for the Korda clan. She later asked her how it felt to watch them succeed in their respective sports as the clan leader. The 31-year-old, at first, humorously said she was not the leader but “the regulator” of the three.
Then, she talked about how it feels to watch Korda play on the LPGA Tour. Notably, the younger sister has won six times on the women’s circuit with one major. But instead of stress, Korda said, “I feel pretty calm when Nelly is playing.” The LPGA star explained maybe it was because she also plays golf and even Nelly Korda has a similar feeling seeing Jessica Korda playing. Furthermore, she added that while witnessing Nelly Korda’s prowess through the LPGA Tour event, “I feel like a very like, mature outlook,” said the 6-time LPGA Tour winner.

Maybe it is because Sebastian Korda plays an entirely different sport and Jessica Korda’s familiarity with tennis is not as professional. Her emotions take over her calm demeanor while watching her brother play.
Talking about her dynamic with the tennis star, the oldest Korda expressed, “When my brother plays and I’m sitting watching TV, my husband’s like, I need to leave.” But why?

Well, the 31-year-old gets over the top and steaming with nerves. She said, “It’s bad. I’m like, sitting up, fist-pumping, and I’m like, screaming at the TV. I get so, like, hyped about it. It’s so funny, but I think it’s just because it’s, like, so unpredictable with tennis.”

But watching them play, Jessica Korda gets a sense of pride and as the oldest feels that “now I can sit back and really, like, enjoy everything that they get to do,” said the 31-year-old. As she takes a break from golf, Nelly Korda has been trying to get back her form which awarded her 6 LPGA Tour victories. On the other hand, Sebastian Korda has been trying to make it big in the ATP after the Olympics’ conclusion.
