She Almost Quit Golf Forever – The Untold Story of Nelly Korda’s Lowest Moment”

Few knew how close Nelly Korda came to walking away from it all.
“There was a day,” she said, “I packed my bags and told myself, ‘I’m done.’”
Burnt out, emotionally shattered, and physically drained — she stood at the edge of giving up the sport she once loved. The constant pressure, the grind, the loneliness — it all became too much.
“I didn’t even recognize myself anymore,” she said quietly. “I wasn’t playing for joy. I was playing out of fear — fear of failure, fear of letting people down.”
But something changed. A conversation with her sister. A quiet walk on a Florida beach. A reminder that she started playing for herself — not the trophies.
She came back. And now, her story of nearly quitting has become one of her most inspiring moments.
