Nelly Korda Once Shared the Truth About Her 'Diet' During the SI Swimsuit Photoshoot

Speaking on the Inside the LPGA podcast on YouTube, hosted by the LPGA Tour in 2024, she said:

“I actually didn’t diet that much for SI. And I couldn’t work out much because of my neck. Oh yeah. So I was like, I was like going into the sun, I was like okay, sweat it out, sweat it out.”

The shoot took place at The Boca Raton in Florida, where she joined other athletes for the annual edition. It marked her debut as a model and introduced her to an audience beyond tournament leaderboards.

So while her résumé continues to grow on the course, her presence now extends beyond it as well.

In 2026, Korda added another chapter to her career with a victory at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, securing her first win of the season.

Nelly Korda most recently lifted the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions trophy on February 1, securing her 16th LPGA Tour title.

But the tournament did not reach its usual conclusion. The final round at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club was called off due to cold weather and strong winds, which meant the results were decided after 54 holes.

At that point, Korda stood at 13-under par, a total shaped largely by her third-round 64. She later mentioned it was one of the best rounds of her career.

With that win, she ended a nearly 14-month stretch without a title following her seven victories in 2024.
