Of course, the Kordas—with a combined 24 wins—were a regular duo for years and have played in the same tournament 96 times. Jess got married, left the tour in mid-2023 and had a son. In Big Sister's absence, Nelly has won eight of her 16 LPGA titles. They did a press conference together at the Ford Championship in Arizona, and there was plenty of playful banter. But Nelly also had a touching observation about what having Jess out on tour meant to her: “I think Jess taught me what life on tour was kind of like. Not many people really talk about it, but sometimes it is like a super isolating, lonely life out here, especially … if you're not really a very outgoing person to develop friendships with other girls; because it is highly competitive as well.”
