Nelly Korda Shocks Golf World After Revealing Her Favorite Golfer — Fans Say the Choice Is “Unbelievable”
Nelly Korda, currently one of the biggest stars in women’s golf, caused a stir this week after revealing the name of her favorite golfer — and fans can’t stop talking about it.
In a recent interview, Korda was asked who she looks up to the most in the golf world. Instead of naming a legend like Tiger Woods or Annika Sörenstam, she surprised everyone by choosing a more controversial and less mainstream player: Patrick Reed.
“I’ve always admired how fearless he is on the course,” Korda said. “He plays with confidence, no matter what people say about him.”
The statement quickly went viral, sparking debate among golf fans worldwide. While some praised Korda for being honest and choosing someone outside the norm, others criticized her decision, citing Reed’s past controversies.
Social media lit up with mixed reactions:
“Unbelievable. Of all the people she could pick…” one user wrote.
“I respect her even more now for not following the crowd,” said another.
As one of the most respected figures in the LPGA, Korda’s words carry weight — and this unexpected opinion has definitely shaken up the golf community.
