Is Nelly Korda Losing the LPGA Cover Girl Charm as She Takes a Back-Seat Post Solheim Cup Tragedy
The 2023 Solheim Cup has been concluded for almost 2 weeks now, but the wounds that it gave to American golfers have not yet healed. Although the Solheim Cup started on a very high note for Team America with a historic swipe of 4-0 during the Friday foursomes, as the tournament’s final day approached, the historic swipe turned into a tied match.
As a result of the tie, the European team retained the glorious Solheim Cup, and the American squad, led by Stacy Lewis had to come back home empty-handed. The loss was indeed disheartening for everyone, but it appears it was most disheartening for the LPGA Cover Girl, Nelly Korda. After being the face of the tournament for so long, Korda has become MIA ever since the loss at Finca Cortesin. Now the question appears, with her positioning herself in the backseat, is Nelly Korda losing her aura, charm, and persona of that of LPGA Tour’s cover girl?
Although the LPGA Tour has many stellar and talented golfers on the roster such as Megan Khang, Rose Zhang, Lexi Thompson, and others. But, it is Nelly Korda who steals away the hearts of fans with her game and her child-like soul. Owing to her off-the-course and on-the-course popularity in the golf world, Nelly Korda is rightfully the cover girl of the LPGA Tour.
But after all that she has been through in 2023, her cover girl persona might be depleting. This season has been a hard one for the younger Korda sister as she sought redemption from her back pain and remained winless for most part of the year. Her only win this season has been in the Aramco Team Series in London.
