‘Not for Me’: Nelly Korda Opens Up About the Undies She Refuses to Wear on or off the Course

Nelly Korda may be known for her laser focus on the golf course, but when it comes to comfort, she’s not afraid to speak her mind—even about what’s under her uniform.
In a refreshingly honest moment during a recent interview, the world No. 1 golfer shared a personal style preference that had fans both surprised and nodding in agreement: she’s just not into thong underwear.
“Honestly, I know a lot of people swear by them, but thongs are just not for me,” Korda said with a laugh. “Especially when I’m playing—comfort is everything, and I don’t want to be distracted by something that doesn’t feel right.”
Korda went on to say that she’s all about performance and ease, both on and off the course, and her wardrobe reflects that from head to toe. “I like to keep things simple, seamless, and functional. If I’m adjusting my outfit mid-round, something’s wrong.”
While some might shy away from talking about such personal details, Korda’s candor was met with praise from fans who appreciated the relatable take. After all, when you’re chasing titles and staying locked in for 18 holes, the last thing you need is an uncomfortable outfit—especially underneath it all.
