“I didn’t want to bother you right now, but I really wanted a photo with you.” #NellyKorda is all of us meeting #TigerWoods for the first time
Nelly Korda cemented her place as the most dominant player in the women's game when she secured gold at the Olympic Games, edging Mone Inami and Lydia Ko by one stroke
Korda’s older sister, Jessica, also played for the United States at the Tokyo Games. Jessica Korda finished in a tie for 15th, then returned to the 18th hole to embrace Nelly after her victory
“Hi, Tiger,” Korda said as Woods wrapped up his opening round in the PNC Championship. “I was wondering if I could take a photo with you.”
“Nelly. Yes. You got it. Done deal,” replied Woods... “I didn’t want to bother you right now, but I really wanted a photo,” Korda said.
Nelly is also playing the PNC Championship, alongside father Petr, a former Australian Open tennis champion.
Team Korda shot 9-under 63 and Team Woods – Tiger and son Charlie – shot 62. Woods also snapped a photo with Petr and Nelly’s brother, Sebastian, who is a top-50 tennis player.
