Nelly Korda is one of the top women golfers in the recent time. She has won seven titles on the PGA Tour, including a Major at the 2021 Women's PGA Championship. She also won a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, competing in the women's individual golf event.

Recently TaylorMade Golf shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) in which the Florida golfer shared her favorite swing thought. She also explained the reason why she likes it.

"I think my favorite swing thought is actually shoulder to chin because I typically get a little long with my swing and it just makes me, 'I need to turn my downswing,'" Korda said.
