“PRO” FILE – TOURING PROFESSIONAL NELLY KORDA

Her father is a major championship winner in tennis. Her mother was a former professional tennis player herself. With genes like those, it’s no wonder Nelly Korda has become a true superstar in the game of women’s golf.

Earlier in the year, she tied an LPGA Tour record by winning five consecutive tournaments. Although she failed to break the record, she did add a sixth victory one tournament later. Interestingly, that followed by her missing three cuts in a row, which proves that even the best of us are human.

Her older sister Jessica got the ball rolling first in the Korda family, having won six times on tour herself. But Nelly has taken the Korda name to a whole other level with her 14 total victories and current #1-ranking in the world. Although she has slowed down the second half of the season, it’s a sure bet she will be back in the winner’s circle before long.
