Nelly Korda Shares Her (3) ‘Turn-Ons’ in a Man — and the Internet Can’t Forgive Number Three

Golf star Nelly Korda just got a whole lot more personal — and fans are spiraling.
In a lighthearted podcast moment that quickly went viral, Nelly was asked to name her top three turn-ons in a man. The first two? Harmless, even charming. Fans were nodding along, sending heart emojis, calling her “so real.” But then came number three… and that’s when the internet turned.
She said it casually. No hesitation. No irony. And immediately, the energy shifted.
Twitter lit up. TikTok went off. Reddit launched a full investigation.
“Number three gave me the ick,” one user wrote, while another added, “She was doing so well… until THAT.” A meme of Nelly sinking a putt with the caption “me trying to recover from that third turn-on” racked up over 400k likes in a matter of hours.
To be fair, Nelly hasn’t responded to the backlash — but knowing her calm, collected style, she probably doesn’t plan to. She said what she said. Whether you loved it, hated it, or are still stuck trying to process it… one thing’s clear:
Nelly Korda’s taste in men just became a national conversation.
