Last week, world No. 1 Nelly Korda celebrated her two major ***** les of the year with a press tour in New York City. And while it's back to business at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in Chaska, Minnesota this week, she's taking time to reflect on her Big Apple adventure from Times Square to the TODAY show.
“I was having a lot of fun in New York,” Korda said. "It's fun to be on a different stage in front of different people doing something that helps the game of golf and kind of puts us on a broader stage."
The stage just continues to grow larger and shine brighter for Korda, who has put together a historic season so far: Four LPGA Tour wins, including two majors, three runner-up finishes and only one finish outside of the top ten. And, with this kind of momentum from the 27-year-old, it's hard not to feel like she's just getting started, despite being admittedly tired from all the winning and the fanfare that goes along with it.
Part of that journey has not only been staying in the moment on the course from shot to shot, but has also been about coming out of her typically reserved and stoic shell, as her stardom continues to skyrocket inside and outside of the golf world.
"I also want to show everyone my personality," Korda explained. "Like I do laugh and I'm a little bit of a dork. On the golf course I am really serious obviously, but it has been fun especially with the platform that I have to kind of share my personality a little bit more."
