Nelly Korda is a trailblazer in women’s golf. She’s not just fiercely talented – her grit and determination to overcome any situation make her a role model for many. Perhaps the quality is derived from her father, Petr Korda. The 54-year-old used to be a resilient tennis player during his time. But does he manage to stay on par with his daughter when it comes to golf? When asked at the PNC Championship, the pair had a laugh about it, with Petr choosing what most golf enthusiasts would!

But is Petr Korda one of them? The former tennis star was asked whether he would prefer watching Nelly Korda play or practice with her. Given the competitive mentality, Korda Sr. surprisingly took the easy route.

“I walked a lot of holes with her the last few weeks at her tournaments,” he said, before being interrupted by Nelly. “Yeah and I was asking what he was doing out here and why he wasn’t hitting the range and putting,” she said. The exchange eventually led to laughter, with Petr unabashed about the situation.

Will the Kordas take home the PNC Championship?

Despite a host of competitors, Nelly Korda and her father will look to make their mark at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club this week. All eyes will be on the former, who comes into the tournament after a month-long rest.

But the younger Korda was on fire in the final stretches of the previous LPGA Tour. She successfully defended her Pelican Women’s Championship crown to secure victory at the $2 million purse tournament. She also displayed a strong performance at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, finishing tied for 10th place.
