Nelly Korda has been a dominant force on the LPGA Tour this year, holding the world number one position since March 2024. At 26, she is not only making history with her stellar performances but also inspiring young golfers with her dedication and achievements.
Kids all over the world use Halloween as an opportunity to dress up as their role models. One Mellissa Guirdy Morse dressed her kids Elliot and Lincoln Micheal as Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler to kindergarten and Pre-K2, respectively. The LPGA superstar saw the picture of the kids on Instagram and could not resist sharing it with her 1 million followers.
