‘Nelly Korda’ to Team Up With Rickie Fowler? After Jessica Korda Ditched the PGA Tour Pro, Nosy Fans Take Turns to Predict His New Partner
The Grant Thornton Invitational is all set to take place on December 4 at the Tiburón Golf Club and the Ritz-Carlton Naples. And at the center of all attention is none other than Rickie Fowler, who is fresh off an appearance at the ever-prestigious Ryder Cup.
The American was supposed to tee it off with Jessica Korda as his partner during the tournament. But a recent update by the male golfer on his Instagram handle, with the soon-to-be mom, has left his fans surprised, evoking nothing short of confusion and anticipation for the future event!
Jessica Korda’s sister, Nelly Korda, to take her place alongside Fowler?
The pair must not have even guessed the number of comments that would flood the video after posting the same on Instagram. A lot of enthusiasts came forward with their own guesses as to who would make the replacement. Let us take a look at a few of these responses.
Such a breakup of a glorious pair would turn heads for sure. But what would catch everyone’s attention would be the gear on display as a gift. And Puma’s interest was rightfully piqued as they mentioned, “We have a few ideas of who it may be ???? …”
Are there any Lexi Thompson fans here? Well, you got a friend in the comments as the enthusiast commented her name, “Lexi 100% ????”
Well, the younger sister should clean up the older one’s mess, right? Right??? Well, that’s what some people must think as they commented, “Nelly Korda,“ to which another person replied, “Nellys already partnered with Tony finau.”
Rose Zhang would make a good team with Fowler. Her amazing skills would sit well with the PGA Tour pro, as someone mentioned her name, “Zhang!”
The LPGA-PGA Tour co-sanctioned event would see 16 players from both circuits tee it off in pairs with each other. And the older Korda sister, who was supposed to be Fowler’s on-course partner, is currently on a break owing to her pregnancy.
The video that was uploaded on both the official handle of the golfer and the tournament piqued the interest of enthusiasts around the globe. The post shows both the event ambassadors addressing their fans and recounting how the pair had a “slight change in plans” owing to the quick-changing “life.”
Nevertheless, the 30-year-old LPGA Tour pro conveyed how she will be involved “one way or another” since Fowler won’t be able to “get rid of her (Jessica).” However, leaving the 34-year-old with no choice, he has been forced to move on with another partner. But what’s surprising was that the duo announced a gift: the 6X PGA Tour champ’s bag he would use in the event, if any one of the fans got their guesses right.
