Nelly Korda Says She Stepped ‘Outside Comfort Zone’ for Jaw-Dropping SI Swimsuit Debut

Nelly Korda is making waves both on and off the green this November. The 26-year-old golf sensation has had a record-breaking month, securing her seventh LPGA Tour victory of the year and earning prestigious honors such as the LPGA Tour Player of the Year and the Rolex Annika Major Award.

These accomplishments solidify her position as one of the sport’s top athletes, with 15 career wins and counting. Yet, Korda’s achievements this month extend beyond her sporting career.

She recently debuted with *Sports Illustrated Swimsuit*, stepping in front of the camera for a stunning photoshoot at The Boca Raton resort in Florida, captured by photographer Ben Horton. Despite being a newcomer to modeling, Korda’s effortless grace and poise have already drawn widespread admiration.

Reflecting on her experience with *SI Swimsuit*, Korda described the opportunity as an exciting departure from her usual routine. “It was so outside my comfort zone,” she shared with NBC Sports.

“I’m not used to doing anything like that, but the whole crew was amazing, and by the end of the day, I was having so much fun.

” Korda’s versatility and willingness to embrace new challenges are as inspiring as her record-breaking golf season. As she continues to break barriers, both in her sport and in new ventures, fans eagerly await the release of her full *Sports Illustrated* spread in May 2025.

For now, her recent accomplishments highlight an exceptional year filled with determination, adaptability, and an undeniable winning spirit.
