Fans Around the Globe React in Shock as Nelly Korda Shares Her Terrifying Kidnapping Experience

Golf superstar Nelly Korda has left fans stunned after revealing that she was once kidnapped — a terrifying experience she kept private until now.

In a recent interview, Korda opened up about the ordeal, saying it was one of the most traumatic moments of her life. Though she didn’t share all the details, she confirmed that the incident took place several years ago while she was traveling abroad.

“I’ve carried it silently for a long time,” she said. “But I feel like it’s time to talk about it. It changed how I see the world, and honestly, how I trust people.”

Korda explained that the experience left her emotionally scarred, but also stronger. She credited her family and therapy for helping her heal. “For a while, I didn’t even want to leave my house. I was afraid of everything,” she admitted.

Fans and fellow athletes flooded social media with messages of support, praising her bravery and honesty. Many said they had no idea she had endured something so traumatic, and called her a role model for speaking out.

While she didn’t name the country or exact year of the incident, Korda emphasized that she’s safe now — and ready to use her platform to bring awareness to personal safety, especially for young women.

“This wasn’t easy to share,” she said, “but maybe it’ll help someone else not feel so alone.”
