Nelly Korda adds another feather in her cap
Korda’s excellence is not limited to the golf world alone. No, she is now a household name and we’re pretty sure there’s no going back from this latest accomplishment. Earning a spot on the exclusive list, her name sits beside some of the biggest and brightest stars in the world of sports.
Very cool that Nelly Korda was named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30. No other golfers made the list.
This includes water polo athlete Ashleigh Johnson, basketball player Devin Booker, swimmer Simone Manuel, and gymnast Sunisa Lee. Previously, LPGA stars Lexi Thompson, Michelle Wie, and Inbee Park have also starred on the list.

A fantastic season for the 23-year-old
She started off her scintillating season by bagging the title at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio. Following that were two consecutive wins, first at the Meijer LPGA Classic and then, perhaps the highlight of her career, her first major title at the Women’s PGA Championship.

Not to forget, she scripted history by winning gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where she was representing the United States. She spent the majority of this year as the number one ranked golfer, mostly in competition with fellow golfer Jin Young Ko, who she also lost the Player of the Year race to. However, she concluded her fantastic season with a win at the Pelican Women’s Championship last year.
Take to the comments to congratulate Nelly on bagging yet another astonishing feat. What do you think is next in store for her?
