Nelly Korda makes her allegiance to Green Bay Packers clear with pointed outfit choice
Nelly Korda recently posted a picture on her Instagram story while wearing a Green Bay Packers outfit on December 16. Apart from her other off-field activities, the LPGA pro golfer has previously been spotted watching NFL.
In the story section of her Instagram profile, Korda could be seen posing for a mirror selfie. Fans could spot her sporting an off-white pullover and a matching off-white winter headwear in the picture. The pullover happens to be official merchandise of the Green Bay Packers and has GO PACK GO written on the front in green font and outlined with chrome yellow, resonating with the team's iconic colors.
On September 30, 2024, the Green Bay Packers locked horns with the Minnesota Vikings. In a now-deleted story on Instagram, Nelly Korda even announced that she would watch her first NFL game. As reported by popular source GolfDigest.com, the LPGA pro was present during the game at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin.
Unfortunately, the Vikings picked up the win against the Packers 31-29. Back then, it was unclear whether Korda was a fan of the outfit. But given her most recent story proclaiming allegiance to the Green Bay Packers in their outfit, fans can safely assume she is part of the Packers' faithful.

The 26-year-old golfer first joined the LPGA back in 2017. Since her rookie year, Korda has bagged 15 career wins in total. Her latest season at the LPGA Tour this year echoes an equally impressive repertoire.

Nelly Korda won the LPGA Drive On Championship 2024. Apart from that, she had remarkable wins at the Chevron Championship, Ford Championship, T Mobile Match Play, FIR HILLS SERI PAK, and the Mizuho Americas Open too.
Korda tied for the fifth position in the Korger Queen City Championship. At the CME Group Tour Championship, she also ranked at T5. As reported by The Irish Times, she expressed her thoughts at the Tiburón Golf Club and said:
"Honestly, it’s been a crazy year. I’m grateful for all of it. I am grateful for the highs; grateful for the lows; grateful to be doing what I love in front of people hopefully inspiring the next generation. It’s really tough to win out here against such great players."
Korda picked up the Rolex Player of The Year award shortly before her win at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge. At the Pelican Golf Club, Korda outplayed pros like Charley Hull, Weiwei Zhang, and Jin Hee Im by three shots. Nelly Korda made it to the top 10 leaderboard for a total of 11 times this year. Her run includes 12 finishes in the top 25 list. Korda concluded her season after earning nine LPGA Hall of Fame points.
