It was until 2008, then the Korda family moved to the United States. Jessica, the eldest, was the first to enter golf. Since she started to become good in the sport, their parents put Nelly in golf.

The Korda sisters have won 13 LPGA Tour titles altogether; Jessica won six titles, whereas Nelly won seven. It is to be noted that Jessica started playing on tour in 2011 and Nelly in 2017.

The Korda sisters love to play against each other. While they are the support system of each other, Nelly and Jessica love a good competition. With her gold medal at the Olympics, Nelly has the upper hand over her sister.

Nelly Korda – the Olympic gold medalist

Nelly won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Japan’s Mone Inami won silver, whereas Lydia Ko of New Zealand won the bronze medal.

Korda won the tournament with a score of 17 and under. Interestingly, the Olympics was not the only title she won in 2021. Nelly Korda won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and became the No.1 on the LPGA Rankings after this tournament.

With the win at the Olympics and KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Nelly became the first-ever golfer to win the Olympics and a major in the same year.

Although the year 2021 seems perfect for Nelly, it is to be noted that she was unable to make it to the US Open. The KPMG win came just a week after her disqualification for the US Open 2021.

Nelly has bagged majors and the Olympics and is still a 23-year-old woman. She has a long way to go, and with her statistics, we can hope for nothing but a bright future for the young woman.
