Photos: Jessica Korda through the years

A six-time winner on the LPGA, Jessica Korda is way more than just Nelly’s older sister.

Jessica laid the blueprint for her younger sister with a stellar amateur career. A member of both Junior Solheim & Curtis Cup teams, Korda played in her first U.S. Open in 2008 at just 15 years old.

Earning LPGA status through Q-School in 2010, Korda made her Tour debut at 18 years of age in 2011. In her sophomore season, Korda notched her first win at the Australian Women’s Open surviving a six-person playoff.

As a professional, Korda has represented the United States on three occasions at the Solheim Cup, touting a 5-4-2 record.

In her 12 years as a pro, Korda peaked in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings at No. 13 back in 2018 and has been consistently inside the top 25 in the world since 2014. She also holds top-10 finishes in all five majors with top-five finishes in the Chevron Championship (2nd – 2022),  KPMG Women’s PGA Championship (T-4 – 2014) and the Women’s British Open (T-5 – 2014).
