In a moment that stunned her fans, Nelly Korda broke her silence and admitted something few expected to hear: she came heartbreakingly close to quitting golf.
During a deeply emotional interview, Korda revealed the crushing weight of pressure that once nearly pushed her to walk away from the sport she loves. “I was exhausted — not just physically, but emotionally,” she confessed through tears. “I thought, maybe this isn’t for me anymore.”
The pressure of constant travel, the relentless chase for perfection, and the fear of letting people down took a heavy toll. Behind her composed smile, Korda felt isolated and burnt out, questioning whether the sacrifices were worth it.
“I remember sitting alone in a hotel room, crying, just wanting it all to stop,” she shared candidly. It was a raw, painful honesty rarely seen from the usually composed champion.
Thankfully, support from her family and a renewed sense of purpose helped Nelly rediscover why she picked up a club in the first place. Slowly, she fell back in love with the game, not for trophies, but for the pure joy it brought her.
Her confession has touched fans worldwide, reminding everyone that even the brightest stars can struggle in silence. For Korda, facing those darkest thoughts became a turning point, proving that true strength lies not in never doubting — but in finding the courage to keep going.
