Korda has earned a massive brand name in women’s golf. The LGPA Tour star has signed with some of the biggest brands globally. Nonetheless, it wasn’t just her mega deals with big brands that helped her elevate her name, it was also the quality of golf displayed by Nelly Korda.

The five motivating words Nelly Korda uses

Keeping a scorecard is a must for every golfer. It helps the player in getting an idea of where he or she stands in terms of holes. However, many stars use the scorecard for various other purposes, like Nelly Korda.

Korda used her scorecard holder to motivate herself by embedding a brave thought to encourage herself. The quote says, “Chin Up, You Got This!” The world number 4 does require these words, considering her recent run of form.

Though Korda is regarded as the future of women’s golf, she has been struggling to get back to her top form. After a season challenged with injuries, the 2021 Women’s PGA Championship winner still had a not-so-impressive season as compared to her standards. She didn’t have any wins in 13 starts and failed to even make the cut in the last two events. This even resulted in Korda failing to keep her number-one position in the rankings.

Nonetheless, still only 24 years of age, Nelly Korda has a lot more to offer. The golfer has already achieved more than everybody else her age. And just like her quote, if she continues to keep her chin up and keeps doing what she’s already doing, Nelly might as well become one the greatest golfers of all time, if not the greatest.
