Sister Jessica Takes Up Unexpected Role to Join Nelly Korda on Golf Course Again A Year into Her Maternity Break

Jessica Korda, former LPGA golfer and sister to world-renowned player Nelly Korda, is set to make a surprise return to the golf world at the Grant Thornton Invitational—but not in the way fans might expect. After a year-long maternity break following the birth of her son Greyson, Jessica announced via Instagram that she’ll be joining the tournament as a commentator, not a competitor.

She expressed her excitement to reconnect with the sport, sharing plans to provide live coverage and conduct exclusive interviews with players, including Rickie Fowler and Team FiNelly. Although Jessica’s role has shifted, her enthusiasm remains high as she reunites with her sister, LPGA’s top-ranked Nelly, for the event in December.

Meanwhile, Nelly Korda is working hard toward her own comeback following a neck injury that sidelined her from recent competitions. After her strong performance at the Kroger Queen City Championship, where she finished in the top five, Nelly had to withdraw from subsequent events to focus on recovery.

But in a hopeful Instagram post, she shared that she’s been cleared to start practicing again, hinting at a potential return soon. Fans are eagerly anticipating the sisters’ presence at the Invitational, with Jessica’s commentary and Nelly’s possible recovery adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.
