Nelly Korda Reveals Massive Surgery Bill That Nearly Ended Her Career, Fans Are Heartbroken by Her Shocking Confession
Golf superstar Nelly Korda has opened up about one of the darkest chapters in her career — a surgery so serious and expensive, it nearly forced her to walk away from the sport she loves.
In a recent interview, Korda revealed that the procedure, which she underwent in early 2023 to treat a rare blood clot condition, cost over $400,000. But the financial cost wasn’t the hardest part — it was the fear that she might never return to professional golf.
“I wasn’t sure I’d ever swing a club again,” she admitted.
“The doctors were honest — it was risky. But I had to try. I wasn’t ready to give up.”
Fans around the world were stunned by the honesty of her confession, and social media quickly lit up with emotional reactions. Many praised her strength, while others expressed heartbreak over how close she came to losing everything.
Korda has since returned to competition — and to the top of the leaderboard — but her story is now a powerful reminder of the sacrifices athletes often make behind the scenes.
