“I Still Regret It”: Nelly Korda Reveals the Lavish Gift She Bought to Impress a Golfer Who Rejected Her —Here’s His Identity

In a candid and surprising moment during a recent interview, golf superstar Nelly Korda opened up about one of her biggest personal regrets—an expensive birthday gift she once bought for a fellow golfer in an effort to catch his attention.
“I really thought it would make an impression,” Korda admitted. “It wasn’t just a random present—it was thoughtful, personal… and, yeah, pretty expensive.” Though she didn’t reveal the exact amount or the name of the golfer, she made it clear that the gesture wasn’t exactly reciprocated.
“He said thank you, but made it clear he wasn’t interested,” she said with a laugh, adding: “I still regret spending that much just to try and impress someone who didn’t feel the same.”
Fans reacted with a mix of sympathy and admiration, praising Korda for her honesty and sense of humor. Some even shared their own stories of grand gestures gone wrong.
Korda, currently one of the top-ranked women’s golfers in the world, said the experience taught her a lesson she’s never forgotten: “No matter who you are or how much you spend, you can’t buy chemistry.”
Though she may regret the gift, fans agree on one thing—the honesty just made them love her more.
