Nelly Korda: Nelly Korda trains in all white top amid a disappointing 2025 season

Nelly Korda gave fans a glimpse of her training session with a post on her Instagram story. Although she has endured a difficult season by her lofty standards, she remains on the grind to improve her skills.

In the training clip Korda posted, she could be seen sporting a white athletic top by Nike, and a turquoise pair of shorts. To pair it up, she donned a pair of Nike Free Golf NN Spikeless Golf Shoes.

The short training clip of Korda's swing comes two weeks after her T36 finish at the 2025 AIG Women's Open. In comparison to her exemplary performances back in 2024, Korda has not been able to achieve those lofty heights this year.

Last year, Korda finished in second place on the 2024 AIG Women's Open leaderboard. By August of last year, she had already amassed six wins and seven top 10s before stepping up at St. Andrews Links.

Korda even won the Chevron Championship last year. This year, she has yet to claim her first win. She has bagged two runner-up finishes this year - a solo second at the HGV Tournament of Championships and T2 at the U.S. Women's Open.

So far, Korda has secured five top 10s in the 2025 season. She also lost her top spot in the LPGA rankings after failing to finish within the top 25 of this year's AIG Women's Open.

"A bit of good and a bit of bad" - Nelly Korda on her disappointing season

After Nelly Korda missed out on winning the 2025 U.S. Women's Open title, she reflected on her season so far while talking to the press at Erin Hills. Korda said (as quoted by Golf.com):

"It’s been a very interesting year for me. Definitely have had a bit of good and a bit of bad. Kind of a mix in kind of every event that I’ve played in. I would say just patience is what I’ve learned, and kind of going back home and really locking in and practicing hard."

Ahead of the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, the LPGA Tour pro also admitted that the rising level of competition was also a big factor.

"It’s golf. Every year is just so different. Last year, coming into this event, I had five wins... It’s just golf. You kind of just have to ride the wave, and the competition is getting better and better every year."

Up next, Nelly Korda will be playing at the CPKC Women's Open at the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club. The event will take place from August 21-24.
