In a candid new interview, Nelly Korda revealed a truth that left fans stunned – she came dangerously close to walking away from golf altogether.
“It wasn’t about losing love for the sport,” she explained, her voice trembling. “It was everything around it. The pressure. The travel. The constant expectations.” She admitted there were nights she lay awake questioning whether it was worth it, whether the sacrifices outweighed the joy.
For someone who’s reached the pinnacle of women’s golf, the idea of quitting was unthinkable to fans. But Nelly’s confession struck a chord. Messages of support poured in, with many sharing their own stories of burnout and mental strain.
She credited her family, a few close friends, and a rediscovered personal passion for helping her push through. “I remembered why I started,” she said. “It’s not just about trophies. It’s about the love of the game.”
This vulnerable moment gave fans a rare glimpse into the person behind the polished athlete. In an age where success is often shown without struggle, Nelly’s honesty was a reminder that even champions have breaking points – and that choosing to keep going can be the biggest victory of all.
