This time a year ago, everyone was looking to Nelly Korda. She had won four tournaments in a row and was about to win her fifth — this one a major championship at the Chevron. She was also about to attend the Met Gala and about to pose for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and about to go through an exhausting summer of even more ups and a handful of downs.
It was around this time last year that Korda began to show the world that she doesn’t want to lean all the way in to the media circus that began brewing around her. That she needs a break from it all at times, and she often seeks it in her family, sometimes with trips to the Rocky Mountains or even to the Czech Republic.
That was 2024, and here in 2025, Korda is dealing with a slightly less manic circus. She hasn’t won yet, for starters. But she’s finding new ways to mentally pull herself away from her golf on a daily basis. She’s started playing with … LEGOs.
