The fashion side of the golf world was once abuzz with style and substance, thanks to Nelly Korda. In 2023, when this rising star signed with Nike, everyone was betting on a grand slam of fashion and fame. And she did deliver… until she didn’t. Fast forward two years, and Korda’s making headlines for a different reason – her “worst” outfit choices ahead of the 2025 AIG Women’s Open have fans talking.
During a practice round ahead of the final women’s major of the season, the World No. 1 was donning… camouflage cargo pants and a Nike olive jacket, a white snapback, and shoes. Needless to say, the golf fans are not amused — neither with Korda, nor with Nike.
Following a Golf.com update about Korda’s outfit choice during the practice round, fans gave their verdict on it, saying, “Did the airline lose her luggage forcing her to go to a nearby army surplus store for gortex?” This would be fun to explain. Following her moderate finish at the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Nelly Korda traveled in another of her sponsor’s, Delta, flight and lost all her luggage. At that time, she made a desperate plea to the airline and said, “And all of my bags are lost! @delta plz help .”
One fan couldn’t help but laugh and take a dig at the outfit choice and NIKE and posted, “Worst golf pants ever?” We hate to agree! A third fan re-wrote Nelly Korda’s upcoming schedule, quipping, “Tee time at 2 and basic training at 7.”
