Nelly Korda’s Father Reportedly Unhappy With Her New Romance — Here’s Why

Family Fairway Feud? Nelly Korda’s Rumored Romance Faces a Parental Sand Trap

Looks like Nelly Korda’s love life just veered into the rough — and not everyone’s cheering from the clubhouse.

According to multiple well-placed (and a little spicy) sources, Nelly’s father — former tennis star and Korda family patriarch Petr Korda — is not rolling out the welcome mat for her new rumored boyfriend.

The buzz? Dad allegedly thinks her new flame “isn’t PGA material.” And yes, apparently he said that with a straight face. Fore…warning: the shade is real.

ICYMI, Nelly has been spotted getting cozy with a very fit, very influencer-looking mystery man — reportedly a European entrepreneur-slash-former motocross racer (because, naturally). The two have been seen courtside at NBA games, frequenting LA’s elite juice bars, and even riding side by side in a private golf cart in Palm Beach.

But despite the loved-up sightings, insiders close to the Korda camp (think: a cousin’s friend’s girlfriend who probably wasn’t supposed to say anything) claim Papa Korda is “not impressed.”

“He doesn’t play golf. He doesn’t understand the grind,” the insider shared. “Petr thinks Nelly needs someone who knows the discipline of the tour. He actually said, ‘This guy wouldn’t last a day at Augusta.’”

Ouch. That’s a pretty savage bogey.

And fans are picking up on the tension. Observers noted Petr’s absence at a recent tournament where Nelly played — and, in a twist worthy of a reality show, her rumored beau was seen clapping from the sidelines. A blurry fan video even caught Nelly briskly walking away from him post-round. Let’s just say it didn’t exactly scream romance.

Naturally, Twitter had opinions:

• “Did her dad just subtweet her boyfriend with that Augusta line?”

• “Nelly deserves love and someone who can hold a 7-iron. Come on, Petr.”

• “This has all the drama of a Netflix sports docuseries. Someone start filming!”

To her credit, Nelly Korda has never been one to let outside noise — or family friction — steer her swing. She’s famously said, “I know who I am on and off the course. The rest is just noise.”

Still, with holidays looming, one can’t help but wonder: will Thanksgiving at the Korda house include more side-eye than stuffing?
