Meet Nelly Korda’s biggest fans.
The professional golfer is the daughter of Petr Korda and Regina Rajchrtová, who raised her in Bradenton, Fla.
Korda, who’s currently ranked world No. 1 on the LPGA Tour and is the reigning Olympic gold medalist in golf, grew up in a family of renowned athletes, as her parents played tennis in the 1980s and 1990s.
The golf star shares a close relationship with her parents and siblings. On May 28, she told reporters about her preparation for the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open and opened up about her “love to get away and spend time” with her family.
“As a kid, my parents really instilled family values,” Korda shared at the U.S. Open press conference. “Hanging around our family and disconnecting from the world has been important to us,” she said of “recharging her batteries” away from the course.
While Korda enjoys home visits to escape the stresses of competition, she’s accompanied by her parents at tournaments too. Both her mom and dad are often seen cheering their daughter on during games.
