Overcome With Emotion: Nelly Korda Reveals the Heart-Melting Gift From a Young Fan That Left Her in Tears
Nelly Korda may be dominating the golf world with her unmatched focus and skill, but even champions have soft spots—and for Nelly, it came in the form of a heartfelt gesture from a young fan.
In a recent post-round interview, Korda became visibly emotional as she recalled a special moment earlier that day. A young girl, no older than eight, shyly approached her with a small, hand-decorated envelope. Inside was a drawing of Nelly holding a trophy, accompanied by a handwritten note that read: “You inspire me to be brave. One day, I’ll be just like you.”
Korda, known for her composed demeanor on the course, admitted she was completely caught off guard. “It was so pure, so genuine,” she said, wiping away tears. “It reminded me why I love this sport—and the responsibility I carry as a role model.”
She later shared a photo of the drawing on her Instagram Story with the caption, “This made my day. Thank you, sweetheart.”
It’s a touching reminder that beyond the trophies and titles, moments like these are what truly define greatness.
