Nelly Korda excelled last year, attracting the attention of the golf public. Even those who are not interested in women's golf, have asked questions about who is the girl who does magical things in this sport. Nelly Korda had an incredible streak, first celebrating at Bradenton Country Club, after which she won seven times.
Her first win was anything but easy, as Lydia Ko was a huge threat to her. Although it was a tense match, Korda managed to win in the end in the double playoff. The victory of the American golfer raised questions about whether their relationship is still good.
Nelly Korda stressed that there are no negative emotions between them, admitting that she enjoys talking and playing against Ko.
I feel better now. No, we didnt. I did send her a message after the playoff, though. You know, weve been friends for a really long time. Weve played in so many groups together throughout our careers on tour, Korda said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
Shes always someone that I really enjoy talking to and playing with. There is no bad blood, I hope. On my side, there is not, but I dont know about hers.
Kim A-lim won the 2025 HGV Tournament of Champions
The Tournament of Champions in Florida was the first challenge for the 26-year-old golfer this season, finishing with 18 shots under par. The American golfer couldn't achieve the victory, considering that Kim A-lim seemed great from the beginning of the tournament.
Kim shared her emotions after the victory in an interview with the media, stressing that becoming world number 1 is not her focus at all. Although she is happy with this kind of start, she is aware that she must remain calm and focused, and transfer her good form to the upcoming tournaments.
Who knows, maybe this season we could watch fierce fights between her and Nelly Korda.
