Nelly Korda, the force dominating women’s golf, just added another remarkable achievement to her storied career. She was a runner-up at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. Despite a strong challenge throughout the tournament, she finished behind A Lim Kim’s wire-to-wire victory, marking a powerful start to her 2025 season. As she prepares for this week’s Founders Cup in her hometown, she is also celebrating a personal milestone of someone she dearly loves, her cute little nephew Greyson.

Greyson John DelPrete, son Jessica Korda, just turned one on February 3rd. Birthday wishes flooded social media. Many other members of the golf fraternity congratulated Jessica for her, and her son’s milestone. Michelle Wie West, herself a mother of two, wrote, “Omg already?????? 🥹🥹🥹 Happy birthday Greyson!!” Jena Sims, mother to baby Crew wrote, “Congrats mama!!” “Happy birthday Greyson!! 🥰” wrote Morgan Pressel. One message stood out.

“I’ll carry you around forever if you want,” the 2x major winner, Greyson’s Aunty Nelly, promised him in her beautiful wish with a picture of her carrying him. Those eight simple yet profound words capture the essence of an aunt’s love. She also commented five hearts, “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️” under Jessica’s Instagram post.

“He’s a chunker,” Nelly Korda once shared warmly in the video, “he’s been feeding well.” This tender observation comes from the same champion who, upon Greyson’s birth, enthusiastically declared in all caps: “CANT WAIT TO SPOIL THE SHEEEEET OUTTA YOU GREYSON.” Indeed, behind every powerful drive and precise putt lies an aunt’s heart, eager to return home. Those three-hour drives to Jessica’s home? They’re all for Greyson. “He’s the sole reason,” she confessed in an LPGA Tour video, her eyes sparkling with unmistakable joy.

Korda is all about maintaining a healthy balance in her personal and professional life.

Nelly Korda’s world is all about balance

In 2024, when the LPGA Tour headed to Asia, Korda chose a different direction. Instead of chasing more titles, she spent time reconnecting with family, strengthening bonds with Greyson and Jessica in their native Czech Republic. These moments of connection didn’t hinder her game; instead, they fueled it.

Fresh off breaking a 14-month winless drought at the LPGA Drive On Championship, Korda demonstrated how family time and professional excellence dance together perfectly. Korda stays connected to Greyson’s world through daily family chat updates and video calls.

In this beautiful balance of power drives and baby giggles, Nelly Korda has found her sweet spot—carrying her nephew’s love forever while soaring to new heights in women’s golf.
