Nelly Korda Drops a Bombshell: The One Player She Thinks Will Become the Next World No. 1 Female Golfer as She Ages —And It’s Not Who Anyone Expected!
In a recent interview that left fans buzzing, Nelly Korda made a surprising prediction about the future of women’s golf. As she looks ahead to the later stages of her career, Korda named Leona Maguire, the Irish golfer currently climbing the ranks, as the player she believes will become the next World No. 1.
Her choice stunned many, as Maguire hasn’t yet reached the same level of mainstream recognition as some of the sport’s top players like Lydia Ko or Jin Young Ko. However, Korda’s endorsement of the rising star speaks volumes about Maguire’s potential. “Leona has everything it takes,” Korda said. “She’s incredibly consistent, mentally tough, and she’s just getting started. I see her making a real run for No. 1 in the future.”
Maguire has steadily built a reputation as one of the most promising talents on the LPGA Tour, earning accolades and showing impressive form in her young career. While many fans were expecting Korda to mention more established names, her pick for Maguire offers a glimpse into the future of women’s golf, where the next great champion might just be someone who has yet to reach the peak of her career.
Korda’s bold prediction has set the stage for even more excitement in the world of women’s golf, with all eyes now on Leona Maguire as she looks to prove her place at the top of the game.
