Nelly Korda is getting some training in before the Grant Thornton Invitational, and she shared a quick look at it on Sunday. The LPGA star posted a mirror selfie from the gym as she prepared for the mixed event at Tiburón Golf Club, which begins on December 8.
In the Instagram story, posted on December 7, Korda is seen wearing a fitted long-sleeve black top with relaxed, leopard-print jogger-style workout pants. She completed the look with white sneakers and had her hair tied up in a high bun. The photo appeared to be taken during or right after a workout session.
Korda arrives in Naples after a third-place finish at the CME Group Tour Championship on November 23 where she closed her LPGA season at 20 under. She now turns her attention to the Grant Thornton Invitational, where she finished 13th last year alongside Daniel Berger. This year, she will team up with Denny McCarthy.

The 2025 season has not been easy for Korda. After winning seven titles in 2024, she went winless this year despite 19 starts. She still managed two runner-up results and nine top 10 finishes but the overall run saw her fall from World Number 1 to Number 2 in the Rolex Rankings. Although the Grant Thornton Invitational is not an official LPGA event, a strong week in Naples could help her end a challenging season on a positive note.
Nelly Korda reflects on her season highs and lows
After her strong showing Nelly Korda opened up about how she felt about her overall season. She said she was not overly disappointed and pointed to several moments that stood out for her. One of them was the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open, where she said the adrenaline and the quality of her game gave her a lift. She also mentioned that seeing flashes of her best form remained one of the positives of her year.
Sharing her thoughts, Nelly Korda said to ASAP Sports:
"Highs was probably the U.S. Women's Open. I mean, the adrenaline rush, there is nothing like it. The highs are probably like seeing like the great flashes in my game where I'm very excited about the work that I put in."
Nelly Korda also spoke about the difficult patches she faced. She explained that despite putting in long hours of practice, she often felt she could not produce her true level on the course.
"Then some of the lows are like every girl can say that out here, ever pro can say that, you put so much time in effort into your craft, and you just don't play well. You just do it over and over and over again. Sometimes you just go a little crazy,” she added.
For her finish, Korda collected 550,000 dollars from the event’s prize fund. In a separate update, Sportico released its annual list of the highest-paid female athletes in the world. Two golfers featured inside the top fifteen. World Number 1 Jeeno Thitikul made the list along with Nelly Korda, who ranked seventh with close to 14 million dollars in total earnings. Of that amount, 2.8 million dollars came from prize money, while the rest was generated through off course deals.
