Nelly Korda's sister Jessica supports brother Sebastian at the 2025 Miami Open

LPGA Tour star Nelly Korda comes from a family of professional athletes. Her brother Sebastian plays tennis, and her sister Jessica golfs. Sebastian is competing in the ongoing Miami Open, and Jessica was present to watch him play.

Korda’s professional golf career started in 2016. She joined the LPGA Tour in 2017 and has won 15 events on the circuit, with two Major Championships. Jessica also plays on the LPGA Tour, where she has six victories. However, she took a break from golf in 2023 due to a back injury.

Jessica was at the Hard Rock Stadium to watch Sebastian secure a victory over Gael Monfils. She attended the game with her husband, Johnny DelPrete, and their one-year-old son, Greyson. She posted a picture with her family on her Instagram story, joking that Greyson was asleep during Sebastian’s game.

“Sleeping beauty during Uncle Sebi’s match 😅,” Jessica Korda wrote.

The Ford Championship is Korda’s third LPGA Tour event of the year. The 26-year-old golfer made her first start of the season in the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where she finished in second place with a score of 18-under. She won $227,854 for her performance. After that, she competed in the Founders Cup, with a T7 finish.
