Nelly Korda Opens Up About Her Ultimate Female Golf Role Model, But Fans Are Shocked by Her Surprising Choice!
In a candid moment recently, Nelly Korda opened up about the one female golfer who has inspired her throughout her career. But the revelation has sent shockwaves through the golf community and social media, leaving fans questioning her choice.
Korda revealed that her ultimate golf role model isn’t a fellow current tour player, as many expected, but rather a name from the past—Hollis Stacy, a trailblazer who won three U.S. Women’s Opens during the 1970s and 1980s. While many golf enthusiasts respect Stacy’s achievements, fans of Korda were surprised that she didn’t choose a more contemporary figure, especially given the rise of young stars like Michelle Wie and Annika Sörenstam, who have both had a huge influence on the sport.
The news has sparked a mix of reactions online. Some fans have praised Korda for honoring a legend of the game, while others have expressed disappointment, feeling that a current role model might have better reflected the evolving landscape of women’s golf.
The debate continues to rage on social media, with some suggesting that Korda’s choice highlights her deep respect for the history of the sport, while others wonder if she should have chosen someone who better represents today’s generation of female athletes.
One thing is for sure: Nelly Korda’s latest revelation has put her front and center in the golf world—and it’s clear that her journey to success is just as influenced by the past as it is by the future.
