After the LPGA season 2023 ended, Nelly Korda has not been sighted much in public and has been laying low. Unwinding after a tough year that tested all her capabilities as a golfer, she is undeniably enjoying her off time privately. These days, LPGA sweetheart, is busy preparing for her role as an aunt. Soon enough, she will take up auntie duties for her elder sister Jessica Korda’s baby, which is due in February.

While Nelly Korda is taking this time to chill and prepare for her upcoming role, not all on the Tour are spending their off-season the same way. In fact, her LPGA bestie has taken this time to involve herself in even more sports as she hops onto the raging NBA hype!

Just like her LPGA bestie, Korda, Megan Khang has chosen her own method of unwinding and is utilizing this time to connect with other sports. Khang has been actively sharing updates on her social media with her fans, informing them about what she is up to. On Wednesday, she attended an exclusive NBA match at the TD Garden. In her latest Instagram story, Khang shared the introduction video of NBA star Jayson Tatum.

The match took place on Wednesday evening, where Tatum, who plays for the Boston Celtics, was competing with the Milwaukee Bucks in Massachusetts. This is an important match for the Celtics, and it was rumored that Tatum, who is their star player, might not participate due to an injury. But defying all odds, the 25-year-old powered through. After Wednesday’s game, the Celtics will face the Orlando Magic in their next match on Friday in Florida.

This season he did not miss a single match, and the fans were worried that this Wednesday that streak might be broken, but to their utter relief, Tatum was there. And it looks like Khang is a big fan of Tatum as well. This is Jayson’s 7th season in the league, all of which he played with the Celtics. He has also made the NBA All-Star Game for four straight seasons.

After her year of power-packed performances, Khang is now enjoying watching the powerhouse of the NBA bring glory home. Her best friend Nelly, on the other hand, is spending her time looking after her older sister and bonding with her and her soon-to-be nephew or niece.

Jessica Korda is now 7 months pregnant. Her last on-course appearance was at the CME Championship, and since then she’s been away, spending time at home bonding with her loved ones. Her younger sister, Nelly, even threw her a baby shower soon after the championship, which many of the LPGA ladies, including Allison Lee and Megan Khang, attended.

Later, on Instagram, Nelly posted a couple of pictures from the event as well. In the image, Jessica is proudly showing off her baby bump in a blue dress, while Nelly is also posing next to her. In another picture, Nelly has placed her ears on Jessica’s bump, trying to listen to the baby inside. The photos made two things certain: Jessica would be a great mother, and Nelly would be a terrific aunt.
