Nelly Korda Reveals the Unexpected 2-Word Message From a Fan That Moved Her to Tears — “I’ll Never Forget It”

Golf star Nelly Korda is no stranger to inspiring fans, but this time, it was a fan who left her speechless. In a candid interview, Korda revealed that during a tough moment earlier this year, she received a handwritten letter from a fan after a match—inside were just two simple words: “Keep shining.”
“It was so unexpected,” Korda shared. “Those two words hit me harder than I imagined. I was going through a quiet battle with self-doubt, and somehow, this stranger knew exactly what I needed to hear.”
The message, though short, stuck with her. Korda says she’s now written it on a sticky note that stays in her travel case, reminding her to rise above criticism, pressure, and fear.
“It’s incredible how two little words can carry so much power,” she added. “I’ll never forget it.”
Fans have since flooded her socials with those same two words — a reminder that sometimes, the smallest gestures make the biggest difference.
