Nelly Korda goes shooting after watching her very first NFL game
Nelly Korda is on vacation, taking a break from the hectic schedule of the past few months. Korda is using her three weeks off to engage in a variety of activities, including putting her sniper skills to the test.
The World No. 1 shared a video of her training with an assault rifle with her more than 1 million Instagram followers. Korda captioned the post:
"Fun activities."
The day before, Korda had also announced on Instagram that she had attended her first National Football League (NFL) game:
According to the X account NELLYLEGION, which follows the player, Korda was at Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, who lost to the Minnesota Vikings that day.
Other posts on her Instagram stories show that Nelly Korda spent last weekend at The American Club, a hotel in Kohler, Wisconsin. Her stay included a visit to a spa called Kohler Waters.
Recently, Korda has posted a number of times about her activities during her days off. Prior to her recent stay in Wisconsin, Korda visited New York for several days.
The World No. 1 will return to competitive action on the LPGA Tour from 24-27th October. That is the date of the Maybank Championship in Malaysia, for which Korda has officially committed.
Nelly Korda on the Packers 'celebration': "Epic"
The game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers came down to the wire. The Vikings led 28-7 going into the final quarter, but the Packers scored three touchdowns to make it 29 points. A 33-yard field goal scored by Will Reichard gave Minnesota the win, with the final score 31-29.
Despite losing the game, some Green Bay players were caught celebrating on the field. Korda posted a video clip showing some of those celebrations, accompanied by the following text:
"Epic"
It's unclear whether Korda is a football fan. According to NELLYLEGION, it is her brother Sebastian who follows the NFL and specifically the Minnesota Vikings. It's also unclear if Sebastian was at Lambeau Field with his sister, but he did post on his Instagram stories to celebrate the team's four-game winning streak:
Unlike his sisters Nelly and Jessica, Sebastian Korda does not play golf professionally. His sport of choice is tennis, which he has been playing professionally since 2018.
Currently (September 2024), Korda is ranked 16th in the world in singles, according to the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). He has a career record of 125 wins and 79 losses in singles.
The most important results of his professional career are the three titles he has under his belt -- two in singles (2021 Emilia Romagna Open and 2024 Washington Open) and one in doubles (2024 Madrid Open with Australian Jordan Thompson).
