He shared a long message as he spoke about the argument of a scratch golfer playing on the LPGA Tour event and his collaboration with Korda. He wrote:

"I saw the argument of a scratch golfer competing in an LPGA event. So I went and played Nelly Korda from the same tees at her home course. It’s my next video dropping and I think you guys will really enjoy it. Prediction’s?"

Korda is looking forward to winning her first title of the season before the year ends. Last year, she had seven tournaments on the LPGA Tour, but this season she is still looking for her first win.

She started this season with a runner-up finish at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, and then settled in T7 at the Founders Cup. She had some amazing finishes and was even close to winning the US Women’s Open, but settled in a tie for second place.
