Korda shared the news on her Instagram profile over the weekend, accompanied by a close-up photo of her face looking away from camera, which resulted in several supportive responses from fellow players, Anna Nordqvist, Alison Lee, and Brittany Lincicome – as well as her older sister, Jessica.
The 26-year-old has been photographed by the magazine’s Ben Horton on the beaches of Boca Raton in Florida, a little over 200 miles from Korda’s Bradenton home.
Per Sports Illustrated, the LPGA Tour star will appear in the magazine next May having modelled a royal blue Yasmine Eslami two-piece and a black LaQuan Smith one-shoulder one-piece.
In a handful of photos released by the title already, Korda can be seen kneeling by the water’s edge in a black one-piece swimsuit with her hair down and free of the cap she regularly wears on the golf course.
The 14-time LPGA Tour winner will feature in the magazine alongside Olympic gymnast, Sunisa Lee and a host of other high-profile female athletes.
Previewing the edition, SI Swimsuit editor in chief MJ Day said: “We are thrilled to launch our shoot season for the 2025 issue with an extraordinary lineup of powerful female athletes.
