Bringing her A game to the semi-final in the 2023 LPGA season, Nelly Korda is chasing her second last chance to secure her first victory of this season. Performing this week at The ANNIKA, driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, Korda has double pressure on her head.

Not only does she have to give her best for her first win this season and grab the $487,500 check, but she also has to successfully defend her title at the event, which she has already won twice. This week, however, she just may have a shot, thanks to the support she has on the course with her elder sister making a re-entry onto the greens to cheer on Nelly!

Jessica Korda is due her first child in February and has been enjoying her maternity leave fully. These days she is indulging in satisfying her pregnancy cravings, but when it comes to supporting Nelly at one of her most important games, Jessica has quickly donned the cap of her older sister.

To support Nelly, Jessica is present at ANNIKA to cheer for her. Right now, Nelly Korda is intensely focused as she eyes a ‘three-peat’ at the Pelican Golf Club. Last year, she defeated Lexi Thompson for a second win. She has also recorded the best score during her play and finished in the top five three times at the ongoing event. After the second round, she was 21 on the leaderboard and entered the third round tied at 17th.

The presence of Jessica is definitely a welcome relief for Nelly. The LPGA has shared a clip of an adorable sibling moment between Nelly and Jessica at the ANNIKA. In the video, while Nelly is practicing her swings, Jessica is sitting behind a chair, enjoying her drink, and signing autographs for little fans as well. Also present with Jessica, like a loyal friend, is her poodle, Charlie.
