‘My Heart Was Racing the Whole Time’: Nelly Korda Leaves Fans in Disbelief After Confessing the Massive Bet She Placed on a Golfer
Golf fans are reeling after LPGA superstar Nelly Korda made a surprising confession that no one saw coming. In a recent interview, the world’s No. 1 revealed that she once placed a massive bet on a fellow golfer—an impulsive decision that even she admits felt “completely out of character.”
“I don’t usually gamble,” Korda said with a laugh, “but something about that tournament just felt different. I had a gut feeling—and yeah, I went for it.”
While she didn’t name the exact figure, sources close to Korda hinted the amount was “well into the five figures,” enough to leave even her most devoted fans shocked. The player she backed? A lesser-known underdog who ended up pulling off a dramatic upset.
“My heart was racing the whole time,” Korda recalled. “I don’t think I even watched the last few holes—I couldn’t take the stress!”
Social media exploded after the clip went viral, with fans both amazed by her boldness and curious about whether she’ll ever make a bet like that again. As one fan posted, “If Nelly’s betting like that, maybe I should start listening to her picks.”
Whether it was a one-time thrill or a hidden passion, one thing’s clear: there’s more to Nelly Korda than what we see on the fairway.
