Sebastian Korda gives shoutout to sister Nelly Korda and dad Petr after her jaw-dropping 'shot of the championship' at PNC Championships 2024

American tennis star Sebastian Korda celebrated his golf star sister Nelly Korda, and their father and former Australian Open champion Petr Korda, during the 2024 PNC Championship. During the championships, Nelly Korda delivered a jaw-dropping shot that commentators dubbed "the shot of the championship."

The PNC Championship, held annually at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, is a special event where golf champions team up with family members for a 36-hole tournament. This year’s edition, running from December 21-22, features a $1.085 million prize purse, with the winning team pocketing $200,000.

Among the star-studded roster is Team Korda, comprising Petr Korda and his daughter Nelly, an LPGA World No. 1 and an Olympic gold medalist. The duo have been participating in this event for the fourth time.

Nelly Korda’s spectacular shot came on the 14th hole during the tournament’s opening round. Her ball was precariously positioned in a sand hazard about 100 yards from the pin. Using one of her woods, she delivered an awe-inspiring shot that landed the ball within 10 feet of the hole. The commentators on the Golf Channel couldn’t contain their amazement, with one exclaiming:

"Oh my god... Be good... Be really good...! Oh wow...! That is unbelievable...! That so far is the shot of the championship."

Sebastian took to Instagram on December 21, 2024, to share the clip of Nelly’s remarkable shot.

Despite his challenges, Sebastian arrived at the Pelican Golf Club just in time to witness Nelly's historic triumph. Following her victory, Nelly greeted her brother with a joyful hug, thrilled by his surprise appearance.
