Nelly Korda continues to focus on improving her game during the 2025 season, despite facing unexpected challenges on the course. The Bradenton native’s recent Instagram story showcased her commitment to training, reflecting her determination to sharpen her skills amid a difficult year.
In the training footage shared by Korda, she wore a white Nike athletic top paired with bluish shorts and Nike Free Golf NN Spikeless Golf Shoes. This glimpse into her preparation comes shortly after she finished tied for 36th place at the 2025 AIG Women’s Open, marking a noticeable decline from her strong performances last year.
Comparing her current results with the 2024 season highlights the contrast in Korda’s trajectory. In 2024, she was a formidable presence, finishing second at the AIG Women’s Open and earning six wins along with seven top-10 finishes by August. That same year, she also won the prestigious Chevron Championship.
However, Korda has yet to secure a win in 2025. Her closest calls have come with two runner-up finishes: a solo second place at the HGV Tournament of Championships and a tied second at the U.S. Women’s Open. Collectively, she has earned five top-10 placements this season.
A major setback for Korda was losing her position as the World Number One golfer after failing to finish inside the top 25 at the recent AIG Women’s Open. This slip reinforces the challenges she is currently navigating in maintaining her elite status.
Nelly Korda’s Honest Reflection on a Season of Mixed Results
During the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open, Korda openly acknowledged the difficulties she has experienced this season. Speaking at Erin Hills, where the tournament took place, she offered candid insights into her form and mindset.
“It’s been a very interesting year for me. Definitely have had a bit of good and a bit of bad. Kind of a mix in kind of every event that I’ve played in. I would say just patience is what I’ve learned, and kind of going back home and really locking in and practicing hard.”

Korda also addressed the intensifying competition on the LPGA Tour ahead of the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Speaking from PGA Frisco, she emphasized how every season brings new challenges and improvements among contenders.
“It’s golf. Every year is just so different. Last year, coming into this event, I had five wins… It’s just golf. You kind of just have to ride the wave, and the competition is getting better and better every year.”
