As Nelly Korda hosts on AJGA, she tells kids not to compare: ‘I wasn’t even a top junior’

At The Nelly Invitational, Nelly Korda urged young golfers not to compare their journeys, sharing that she once struggled and wasn’t a top junior. “Everyone has their own path,” she said, emphasizing patience, passion, and persistence in the game.

Korda’s event isn’t just about competition—it’s a celebration of community and character. With support from sponsors like Chevron and Nike, she’s created a standout experience with world-class swag, meaningful charity ties, and thoughtful touches like family inclusion and career-building opportunities.

Despite her status as world No. 1, Korda remains grounded, inspired by giving back and shaping the next generation. From designing her own Nike shoes to hosting top juniors, she’s built an event that reflects her grit, generosity, and love for the game.
