It’s Not a Golf Course or a Glamorous City: Fans Surprised as Nelly Korda Reveals Her Favorite Place on Earth—Here’s It
Nelly Korda is no stranger to breathtaking destinations. As one of the top golfers in the world, she’s traveled the globe—from the historic greens of St. Andrews to the bright lights of Tokyo, and the luxury of Dubai. But when asked in a recent interview to name her absolute favorite place on earth, Korda didn’t mention a famous course or a glamorous city. Instead, her answer surprised many.
Her favorite place? Home.
Not a luxury resort. Not a remote tropical island. Just her family home in Bradenton, Florida.
“It might sound simple,” Korda admitted, “but there’s no place I feel more myself, more relaxed, and more connected than when I’m home with my family. No travel, no tournaments, just quiet mornings and people I love.”
She described it not in terms of scenery or sophistication, but in feelings—familiar routines, shared laughs with her sister Jessica, peaceful walks with her dog, and cooking with her mom. For Nelly, the magic isn’t in the location itself, but in what it represents: comfort, grounding, and authenticity.
Fans, used to seeing her in jet-set fashion and on the most pristine golf courses in the world, were touched by her humility. Many commented on how refreshing it is to see a superstar athlete choose something so personal and down-to-earth.
“I’ve been to some amazing places,” she said, “but nothing compares to walking barefoot in the backyard where I learned to swing a club for the first time. That’s where it all started. That’s home.”
In an era when celebrity often means chasing the next best thing, Nelly Korda reminds us that sometimes, the most meaningful place in the world is exactly where your heart is.
