Nelly Korda’s short offseason plans include dogsledding. She loves the mountains and snow but can’t ski like she did as a kid.
“I’m already fragile enough,” she noted.
Top-ranked Korda came off the course at the 2024 PNC Championship beaming alongside her father Petr. It’s late in the year and close to Christmas, but they love this event. Petr enjoys the time inside the ropes with his youngest daughter, whose historic 2024 season include seven victories. Team Korda took a share of eighth in their fourth appearance at the PNC thanks a second-round 61 in the scramble format.
“I mean, it’s just the way – how much you improve year by year and the way she is approaching the game, and also how much she is appreciated by the men, these competitors,” said Petr of his biggest takeaways. “That was phenomenal.”
After a short time away in the snow, Korda will get back to work to prep for the first two events of 2025 in Florida, including a stop in her hometown of Bradenton, Florida, where she’ll defend. The LPGA season gets underway Jan. 30 at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in Orlando.
