Golf Digest shared a bunch of pictures featuring some of the best players in collages of two. “These ultimate matchups would be a lot of fun”, the page wrote. The pictures included duos of several famous players, including Nelly Korda and Michelle Wie West.

Well, it was not the first time someone tried to pull Korda’s leg! She recently made an appearance in a video shared by TaylorMade to promote their Stealth 2 driver. And apparently, the golfer wore a black Nike top along with orange pants, and her red Nike Jordan One shoes. However, soon after she shared the video on her Instagram story, she posted another one that said, “Don’t hate me for my Orange pants and red shoes,…It was a bit of a wardrobe malfunction”. But it was too late by then! Fans took over the internet and hysterically trolled the golf star calling her “Nelly Fowler” for her orange pants!

The duos also included Rory McIlroy and Greg Norman, who happen to be the biggest rivals. Fans are well aware of how much McIlroy hates the existence of Norman’s LIV Golf league. On the other hand, there was another duo that featured Tiger Woods vs Phil Mickelson! You can imagine what went on behind the scenes while thinking of these crazy matchplay competitors.

But Korda is nowhere behind her when it comes to her achievements and golfing talents. With tons of victories to her name on the LPGA Tour, Korda also won the gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics’ women’s individual golf tournament.
