“Sister Knows Best”: Nelly Korda Reveals And Credits Her Sister Jessica For The Relationship Advice She Gave Her That’s Never Failed Her.
When it comes to relationships, world No.1 Nelly Korda doesn’t just rely on intuition or experience—she turns to someone who knows her better than almost anyone: her sister, fellow pro golfer Jessica Korda.
In a recent heartwarming interview, Nelly opened up about the guidance she’s received from Jessica, especially when it comes to love and emotional connections. What surprised fans most wasn’t just how much Nelly values her sister’s opinion—it was the simple, yet powerful advice Jessica once gave her that Nelly says has never failed her.
“She once told me, ‘Never settle for someone who doesn’t match your energy or respect your ambition,’” Nelly shared. “At the time, it felt like just a conversation between sisters, but those words have stayed with me through every relationship.”
For Nelly, whose lifestyle as a world-class athlete comes with immense pressure, media scrutiny, and global travel, it’s not easy to find someone who truly understands her rhythm. But Jessica’s wisdom taught her to prioritize emotional compatibility and mutual respect over surface-level connections.
Sisterly Bond Beyond Golf
The Korda sisters have always shared a strong bond—not just as family, but as fellow competitors and supporters of one another in a high-stakes sport. While the world often compares their achievements on the course, behind the scenes, it’s the little moments of support like this that make all the difference.
“Jessica’s been through a lot herself,” Nelly said. “She knows what it takes to stay grounded, not just in golf but in relationships and in life. I’ve always admired how she carries herself, and she’s taught me more than she probably realizes.”
