Nelly Korda Reveals the Unexpected Friend Who Told Her to Consider Changing Her Gender
Golf sensation Nelly Korda is known for her composure on the course, but her latest revelation has fans doing a double take. In a recent candid interview, Korda opened up about a surprising conversation she once had with someone very close to her — and the name behind it has left everyone stunned.
According to Korda, during a private chat about her athletic dominance and competitive edge, a longtime friend jokingly suggested, “Honestly, you should’ve been a guy. You’d destroy everyone even more.” While the comment wasn’t made with malice, it sparked a deeper conversation about gender, performance, and public perception in sports.
What shocked fans the most? The person behind the remark was none other than fellow athlete and longtime friend, Lexi Thompson — a star in her own right on the LPGA Tour.
Korda made it clear she took no offense and actually laughed about the moment, saying: “It just shows how close we are. We push each other and sometimes say wild things without filters.”
Still, once the story hit social media, reactions poured in. Some fans found the comment inappropriate, while others admired Korda’s confidence and her ability to take things in stride.
