Nelly Korda is currently the top women’s golfer on the LPGA Tour. Moreover, she is also one of the most popular names in the golfing world. Nelly has six LPGA Tour wins, with one major championship victory coming in this year at the Women’s PGA Championship. Furthermore, she also won a Gold medal for her country at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. 

Nelly is pretty young and has already achieved so much in her career. Sometimes it can get difficult for a young athlete like her to handle the fame and pressure. In fact, she recently talked about the pressure a professional athlete goes through. Let us see what exactly she said.

Nelly further explained that fame has its pro and cons. However, she also said that everything in life does have pros and cons, and she enjoys being in the limelight and wants to inspire the next generation.  

“So it’s tough. It honestly has its pros and cons. Everything does in life. I mean, I enjoy it. I love it and inspiring the next generation, and I love being out there, and you know, that’s what I work for. But, you know, it’s hard to.” 

What has also helped her is the fact that Korda has a sporting environment at her home as her dad was a tennis player while her sister is also a professional golfer and her brother a tennis player. No doubt, having sportspersons around certainly helps, something many athletes don’t get.
