Watch: Sisters Nelly Korda, Jessica Korda talk about their sporting idols, the role mom plays and why they chose golf in HSBC interview

In a recent interview with HSBC host Kate Burton, professional golf sisters Nelly and Jessica Korda discussed their sporting journeys, family dynamics, and role models. Nelly, who recently finished solo second to Jin Young Ko in Singapore following strong performances in Thailand and at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, spoke about how their mother plays a vital

role in their lives. Jessica humorously shared that “Mom watches Nelly,” hinting at the close family bond, as well as Nelly’s need for a “butler.” Both sisters, influenced by tennis legends, credit their mother as a constant source of support in their careers.

Jessica, who returned to the LPGA after a back injury, struggled with her rounds in Singapore, but her presence marked a significant moment as she celebrated her 30th birthday on tour. Ranked No. 2 and No. 23 globally, respectively, Nelly and Jessica Korda have won a combined 14 LPGA titles, further cementing their legacy in the sport.

Their shared passion and dedication to golf have made them a formidable duo, and their stories reflect the support and influence of their family, particularly their mother, who remains a guiding force in their lives and careers.
