Sebastian Korda compliments his sister and professional golfer Nelly Korda on the funky shoes she wore during the Drive On Championship

Sebastian Korda complimented his sister and professional golfer Nelly Korda for sporting a funky pair of shoes during the 2023 LGPA Drive On Championships.

Korda comes from a family who is active in sports considering his father Petr Korda, who is Czech, was also a tennis player and reached a career-high ranking of No.2 in February 1998.

His sisters 24-year-old Nelly Korda and 30-year-old Jessica Korda, are professional golfers on the LGPA tour. Nelly Korda bagged Olympic Gold in the women's individual gold event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Nelly Korda reached the World No. 1 ranking in women's golf in 2021.

The junior Korda sister is currently competing at the LGPA Drive On Championship at the Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club. The official Instagram account of the LGPA tour posted a video of Korda during the tournament where she almost missed scoring an eagle.

"So close to an eagle! @nellykorda" the caption read

The video caught the attention of her brother Sebastian Korda, who could not help but notice his sister's shoes. Korda could be seen sporting a funky black and white Nike shoe with a hint of neon yellow. Korda took to his Instagram stories to compliment his sister's shoe game and added some fire emojis.
