Nelly Korda, an icon in the world of golf, was able to place herself among the crème de la crème due to the exceptional skills she showcased on the course. The American boasts eight LPGA Tour wins, including a major victory in the 2021 Women’s PGA Championship, along with three LET wins, which are but examples of her unwavering confidence and determination. But while the golfer sees herself rising in the ranks of the golfing world, she owes a lot of her success to the immense support of her family, especially her beautiful mother, Regina Rajchrtova.

Every person needs a caring figure to support them through life, more so in the case of a talented and hardworking athlete who has made her mark in a sport like golf. Similarly, Korda has seen her mother play a crucial role in her life. Let us now take a closer look at the exceptional figure in the professional golfer’s life who has supported her throughout her career.

Meet Nelly Korda’s mother, Regina Rajchrtova

The American golfer was born to tennis stars Petr Korda and Regina Rajchrtova on July 28, 1998. Hailing from a family with a sporting background, they have had a big impact on her career as a golfer, especially her mother. While the Korda siblings have been taking center stage at the moment, Rajchrtova became popular much earlier, and not just because of her daughters’ achievements.

The golfer’s mother was a former professional tennis player who reached as high as No. 26 in the world ranking on April 1, 1991. Although she retired from the game after a knee injury, the Czech professional had a fifty percent win rate in the women’s singles category with a total of 69 wins in 139 matches from 1986 to 1992.

The one-time major winner said, “My mom is the glue that holds us together, and we would not be where we are without her“, all the while expressing her love for her “angel” Rajchrtova. She also went ahead to provide the golf community with a peek into her relationship with her mom, stressing how vital a role she has played in the overall success of the family.

The Korda Star siblings all owe their mom a great deal

Nelly Korda is only one of the three kids that the proud mother has raised. Despite them being professional tennis players, the father-mother duo has never forced their preferences on their children. But nevertheless, the trio managed to choose their own paths in the end, and fortunately, they aligned with the sporting past of their mom and dad. Her older sister, Jessica Korda, is a fellow golfer on the LPGA Tour, while the youngest sibling, Sebastian Korda, followed in both his mother’s and father’s footsteps to become a professional tennis player.

As the 25-year-old looks towards her future, the golfer knows that she, along with her athlete siblings, will always have the unwavering support and love of her cherished parents by her side.
