If you loved Fore Play’s episode with Tiger Woods, you’re probably thinking who’s next? Well, buckle up, because it’s none other than LPGA World No. 1, Nelly Korda. That’s right. The Fore Play crew is on a roll, locking in two of the biggest names in golf—Tiger Woods and Nelly Korda—for their YouTube channel. For a group that started as a laid-back golf podcast, it’s a pretty surreal moment. And they know it.

“Something that you really got to take a step away from and say, what the hell’s going on?” they said. Woods’s appearance was obviously a big deal. He first appeared on the podcast back in January 2024, and just a few weeks ago, he was back again for round two. But now, the big news is Korda has made her return to the podcast, and she ate it. This is not what we say, it’s the Foreplay crew guys who say: “It was a really fun video to do.”

Korda brought a different energy to the show, and what really stood out was just how relatable she was. The Fore Play crew summed it up in 14 words: She doesn’t feel like she’s kind of the number one golfer in the world. She feels just like a regular person.” They continued, You can kind of get that feeling the way she says like ‘I’m just I just get to be me like I’m not kind of getting pampered and getting all the stuff being told where to go and where to stand’ so it’s nice it’s like you get a different side of her which is cool.” And honestly, that’s exactly why people love Korda.

Now, if you are someone who follows her on social media, you already know she’s got a fun, easygoing side. Whether she’s enjoying some snowy adventures, donning a bizarre Halloween costume, or just enjoying life off the course, she’s never been one to take herself too seriously. And her Fore Play collab is just another glimpse into that side of her.

 You see, on the course, Korda is all business, chasing wins, dominating leaderboards, and proving why she’s the face of women’s golf. But in a casual setting like the podcast, that’s where you really get to see her real self. She’s not just one of the best golfers in the world—she’s also one of the most down-to-earth.

Nelly Korda’s media presence is only getting bigger

It’s not just her talent that makes her a star—it’s how she connects with people. That said, her media presence is something we all love to capture. Just last year, she made her Met Gala debut, turning heads alongside some of the biggest names in fashion. And now? She’s set to appear in Sports Illustrated’s 2025 swimsuit issue as the first athlete they photographed for it. This 26-year-old is indeed making waves, not just on the greens but even beyond it. 

What’s your perspective on:

Nelly Korda on Fore Play: Is she the most relatable World No. 1 we've ever seen?

Have an interesting take?

And collaborations like these give us a side of pro golfers we never get to see. We’re so used to watching them grind under pressure, competing at the highest level. But what about when they’re just hanging out, playing a casual round, and showing their real personalities?

That’s exactly what Fore Play does best. “The whole point of these videos, the whole point of our whole brand doing collaborations with all these professional golfers, is to show them in a different light,” the crew said. “At the end of the day you’re just playing golf with them so that could be the same type of version of them that you see Thursday through Sunday, but that’s what we’re out there to do is to make you become a bigger fan of this person and show them show the the the viewers this is who this person really is. And then you get to feel like you know the person after you’re watching it.”

And with Korda, that mission was a success. “She’s just like super normal, relaxed, and cool and relatable.”

So, if you haven’t watched Korda’s episode yet, what are you waiting for? But wait, as we mentioned initially, even the GOAT was here. So, how did that go?

Tiger Woods graced the Fore Play podcast twice

You’ve heard plenty of stories from Woods’s rivals about his intimidating presence on the course. But as the Fore Play crew (and we totally agree) points out, these podcasts bring out a completely different side of the pros.

A few weeks ago, Woods was back on Fore Play, but this time, he wasn’t just playing—he was caddying. Yes, the 15-time major champion took on the role of a caddie, offering insights and guidance as they played a hole together. The episode is a perfect mix of lighthearted banter, strategic discussions, and Tiger just being Tiger.
