Nelly Korda doesn't need a golf club in her hands to make headlines. The world's top-ranked women's golfer has been setting the internet ablaze this week, and it's not because of her swing. A simple selfie in Nike workout gear has sent her followers into a full-blown frenzy.
The 28-year-old superstar, who has already cemented her legacy with four major championships, recently shared a throwback photo that shows her rocking a sleek yoga pants and sports bra combo. The caption? "There's nothing better than putting on a cute workout set." Fans clearly agreed, flooding the comments with fire emojis and praise for her effortless style.
It's been a whirlwind year for Korda, both on and off the course. After a relatively quiet 2025 campaign, she silenced any doubters in 2025 by capturing the Chevron Championship in April and then outlasting a stacked field at the U.S. Women's Open in June. Those wins brought her career major total to four, a number that keeps climbing.
But her recent viral moment isn't just about the yoga pants. Korda has been sharing glimpses of a dreamy vacation in Greece, and fans can't get enough of her travel content. The combination of championship pedigree and relatable, fun social media presence has made her one of the most beloved figures in sports.
This isn't the first time Korda's off-course posts have stolen the spotlight. Earlier this year, she made waves with a stunning swimsuit photo that had fans talking for days. And in May 2025, she joined the ranks of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models, posing for her rookie shoot in Boca Raton, Florida.
"It was such an exciting shoot," Korda said at the time. "I think that's what the shoot is about. I think that's what life is about, also, sometimes challenging yourself." That willingness to step outside her comfort zone has endeared her to a broader audience beyond golf fans.
Korda's social media game is just one more way she's connecting with fans, much like other athletes who've embraced the spotlight. The recent yoga pants gym photo from Paige Spiranac also drove fans wild, showing that the trend isn't going anywhere. And with Korda's star power, it's no surprise that every post becomes an event.
As she continues to dominate on the course and charm off it, one thing is clear: Nelly Korda knows how to keep the world watching. Whether she's hoisting a trophy or just sharing a casual selfie, she's got a knack for making headlines.
Will she grace the pages of SI Swimsuit again? Only time will tell, but if her recent track record is any indication, fans will be eagerly awaiting whatever she shares next. For now, the yoga pants photo is just another reminder that Korda is as captivating off the fairway as she is on it.
