“I’d Marry Your Daughter!”: Nelly Korda Shares the First Golfer Who Said This to Her Dad —Here’s The Unbelievable Name!
In a moment that left fans both laughing and stunned, golf superstar Nelly Korda has revealed the name of the first golfer who ever told her father, former tennis pro Petr Korda, that he wanted to marry her — and the name is turning heads.
During a lighthearted interview, Nelly recalled the surprising moment when a fellow pro on the men’s tour jokingly said to her dad:
“If she wasn’t taken, I’d marry your daughter in a heartbeat!”
And the name? None other than Rickie Fowler — known for his flashy outfits, charisma, and friendly nature on and off the course.
While it was said in good humor, fans couldn’t get enough of the story. The clip quickly went viral, with comments flooding in about Rickie’s boldness and Nelly’s cool reaction.
“Honestly, my dad just laughed,” Nelly said, smiling. “He’s heard way worse from guys trying to impress him.”
Though nothing romantic ever happened between Nelly and Rickie, the moment has cemented itself as one of the most talked-about off-course stories in recent golf memory.
As always, Nelly handled it with grace, honesty, and a bit of playful sarcasm — just one more reason fans can’t get enough of her.
