For athletes, every decision counts — from training routines to diet choices. But Nelly Korda’s refusal to eat one specific food has fans scratching their heads, and she’s finally revealed the reason behind it.
After a near-disaster experience, Nelly has sworn off one food that used to be a regular part of her meals: spinach. Yes, you read that right. The world No. 1 golfer has shared how a serious food-related incident almost derailed a major tournament for her. It all started with a spinach-heavy salad before a big event. What seemed like a healthy choice soon led to unexpected stomach issues, leaving her feeling uncomfortable and distracted during a crucial match.
In her own words: “It was one of those moments where you think you’re making a healthy decision, but your body doesn’t always agree with it.”
Since then, Nelly has avoided spinach and any other foods that could cause similar discomfort during her high-pressure tournaments. Fans couldn’t believe it at first — one tweeted, “A top golfer avoiding spinach? What a plot twist!” But it’s a reminder that even the pros have to listen to their bodies.
In a world where athletes often face intense scrutiny about their eating habits, Nelly’s honest approach to her dietary choices shows just how important it is to prioritize comfort and well-being over public perception.
Nelly’s food fiasco may have been a minor setback, but her refusal to make the same mistake again proves her commitment to performing at the highest level.
