Nelly Korda left golf fans stunned when she wore a daring mesh top over a bold bandeau during a tournament dinner—a look that broke traditional dress norms.
In the aftermath, she posted a cheeky Instagram Story: “It was a dare.” Friends supposedly made a bet that she wouldn’t wear the outfit publicly. So she did—and the golf world exploded.
Commentators and fans debated if golf etiquette had been crossed. Some praised her for challenging stuffy traditions. Others scolded her for disrespecting sponsor expectations.
Nelly later tempered the controversy with modesty. “I didn’t plan to start a fashion riot—I was just having fun with friends.”
Whether intentional or spontaneous, fans say the stunt embodies the modern golfer: accomplished, stylish, unafraid.
