Jessica and Nelly Korda are both professional golfers. Over the years, the siblings from Florida have managed to secure numerous accolades. The former has six titles, while the latter has 20 professional wins to her name.

The two hail from an athletic family. They started their respective golf careers at a very young age. Despite an age gap of five years, they share a close bond with one another.

On November 9, Nelly Korda shared a reel on her Instagram stories. It was about why sisters visit each other. Originally, the video featured a woman rushing into her sister's home just to visit their nephew or niece.

She also shared her excitement about becoming an aunt while speaking with the press before the 2024 LPGA Drive On Championship. During the press conference, she said:

"Entering my aunty era. 2024. Yeah I'm very excited. I'm mostly excited just to see this new chapter in Johnny's and Jess' life. And I think it's going to be really exciting."

Nelly Korda was recently named the LPGA Tour Player of the Year, and her sister was there at the ceremony to support her.
