Nelly Korda is enjoying herself after her excellent performance at the Solheim Cup, as the US Team won the trophy on home soil. Following the conclusion of the team event, Korda traveled with her caddie, Jason McDede, and later shared a video of herself with her luggage.

The World No. 1 seemed happy as she sat on her trolley bag and took a ride around the airport. Her caddie stood nearby. She also posted a mirror selfie of herself with the luggage and a snap from a golf course.

Korda wrote in the caption,

"It’s been planes, trains, and automobiles lately with all the travel! Love having @tumitravel as my partner to make it so much easier."

Later, LPGA Tour player Megan Khang commented with a joking note about McDede's jorts.

"Jason with the iconic jorts 😂,"Khang wrote.

At her recent outing at the Solheim Cup, Korda fared well. She only lost the Sunday singles match against Charley Hull but was impressive over the first two days.

In Friday's foursomes, Korda teamed up with Allisen Corpuz and defeated Esther Henseleit and Charley Hull by 3&2. She also won her second match in the fourball on Friday against Georgia Hall and Leona Maguire by 6&4.

On Saturday, Korda and Allisen Corpuz were again paired together for the foursomes match, playing against Emily Pedersen and Carlota Ciganda, and won by 1 up. She did not play in the fourball on Saturday and lost her singles match on the final day.


When will Nelly Korda play next?

Korda is slated to tee off at this week's LPGA Tour event, the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. The tournament is scheduled to start with its first round on September 19 and will conclude on Sunday, September 22. It will take place in Maineville, Ohio.

Coming straight after the Solheim Cup, this week's event features a stellar field, including Rose Zhang, Leona Maguire, Linn Grant, Charley Hull, Anna Nordqvist, and Danielle Kang.

Meanwhile, this season has arguably been one of her best for Korda. She has six victories on the LPGA Tour this year and also won a major tournament. That’s not all—she has also recorded eight top-10 finishes.

Korda has won five tournaments in a row this season, starting with the LPGA Drive On Championship, followed by the Fire Hill Se Ri Pak Championship, Ford Championship, T-Mobile Match Play, and finally, the major at The Chevron. Her sixth win of the season came at the Mizuho Americas Open.

However, in an incredible season, she has had some struggles too. The 26-year-old missed three consecutive cuts before finishing T26 at the Amundi Evian Championship. She then bounced back with a T2 at the AIG Women's Open.
