She Gave It All Away: Nelly Korda’s Unexpected Gift to a Struggling Golfer Revealed
In a heartfelt gesture that’s winning praise far beyond the fairways, world No. 1 golfer Nelly Korda has revealed she donated 100% of her earnings from a recent swimsuit campaign to support a fellow professional golfer battling a serious illness.
The touching revelation came during a post-tournament interview, where Korda opened up about the deeply personal motivation behind the decision.
“They’ve always supported me quietly from the sidelines,” she shared. “When I heard about their condition, I knew I wanted to help — and it just felt right to give everything from the campaign directly to them.”
Though Korda chose not to publicly name the recipient out of respect for their privacy, sources close to the situation say the golfer is facing a difficult battle with a rare autoimmune disease, along with rising medical expenses.
For fans, the move further cements Korda’s reputation not just as a dominant force in golf, but as a generous, grounded role model. Social media has been flooded with praise, with many noting that “her heart is even bigger than her game.”
This moment of quiet generosity offers a powerful reminder that behind the headlines, sponsorships, and trophies, Nelly Korda remains deeply connected to the community that helped shape her.
