‘Never Again’: Nelly Korda Names the Country She’ll Avoid for Life Because of Its Brutal Weather
Nelly Korda may be a globetrotter thanks to her career, but there’s one country she says she’ll never step foot in again—and it’s all because of the weather.
In a brutally honest (and slightly hilarious) moment during a post-match interview, the golf superstar confessed that her experience in Dubai left her so overwhelmed by the scorching heat, she’s sworn it off for good. “I thought I could handle anything,” she said, “but that heat? It was like walking on the sun.”
Korda described playing in the extreme desert temperatures as “pure torture,” adding that no amount of hydration or cooling fans could save her from melting on the course. “By the third hole, I wasn’t even thinking about golf—I was just praying for shade.”
Fans were shocked by the admission, while others totally related. “Girl, same. Dubai heat is a beast,” one follower commented.
While Nelly loves exploring new places, she made one thing crystal clear: “I’m all for adventure, but some climates just aren’t meant for humans… or golfers.”
Sorry, Dubai—this queen’s not coming back.
