‘Try and Lift the Other One Up’: Jessica Korda Once Revealed the Emotional Chemistry She Has With Her Sister Nelly Korda

Korda sisters, Nelly Korda and Jessica Korda, are prominent names on the LPGA tour. Since sisters play the same sport, people often think there must be an ego clash. These sisters compete against each other, and it might hamper their relationship. However, Jessica cleared everyone’s doubts in a 2019 interview.

There were speculations of sisters betting on every game; whoever won the match would win the money. Jessica had a take on that speculation, too, and stated facts. People thought they had side bets and trash talk with each other. Let’s find out if the Korda sisters are truly supportive or if golf has hampered their relationship. 

What did Jessica had to say about her relationship with Nelly Korda?

After carding a bogey-free second-round 68 at the 2019 U.S. Women’s Open, Jessica stated there was no sibling rivalry between her and her younger sister Nelly. LPGA star, Nelly, was also in contention before struggling to get going in 2019 at the Country Club of Charleston. Denied the cliche headline, “A HOUSE DIVIDED,” Jessica revealed that the sisters’ relationship was full of mutual support that was free of trash talk and side bets.

In the interview, she explained that people might be disappointed because of the speculations. They assumed the Korda sisters did trash talk and had side best going on. However, it was not true, and to cure the disappointment, she said, “We just have the one yearly one. Other than that, we’re trying to be supportive. We know how hard it is out here. If we see the other one’s down, you always try and lift the other one up.”

According to her, the Korda sisters had bets but not on the side of every tournament they played. The sisters had an annual stake. It was to see who won more than the others. Other than that, the relationship was full of support. Even though Nelly is the pride of LPGA, who won the Olympics gold medal, jealousy never takes place in their relationship. Jessica loves her younger sister, and they always support each other mutually. Their relationship was based on mutual trust, love, and support. Therefore, the cliche headlines were denied entirely by the older Korda sister.

How much was the annual bet of sisters?

Their relationship stayed intact despite dividing headlines. It did not divide the Korda house between the two sisters. However, their pockets were. The sisters’ annual bet was between $500 and $2,000. And if it was the latter one, then Jessica’s purse took a hit in 2018. Nelly won the bet and snatched the bag from her older sister’s hand.
