Nelly Korda is arguably the biggest name in women's professional golf, and now she's making her SI Swimsuit debut in the 2025 issue.

Korda, who turned pro in 2016, had her most amazing season to date last year as she captured seven LPGA Tour titles, including one major. She even won five events in a row, ending that streak with her major title at the 2024 Chevron Championship. Korda became the third LPGA player in history to achieve that streak.

While speaking with SI Swimsuit during her photo shoot in Boca Raton, Fla., Korda expressed how important it is for her to be an inspiration for young girls interested in pursuing golf.

"Golf has impacted my life in an incredible way outside of the sport," Korda said. "I get to inspire the next generation, I see girls that look up to me and I get to travel the world for a living and do what I love."

Over the course of her career, Korda has won 15 LPGA Tour titles. She's a two-time Olympian, winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. While she has yet to win her first title of 2025, all eyes remain on her every time she walks on a golf course.

The 2025 SI Swimsuit Issue is available for order now and on newsstands starting May 17.
