Nelly Korda Has Become A Die-Hard Packers Fan at 27

Nelly Korda is having quite a year.

The 27-year-old LPGA Tour star won her third career major championship last month. She took home the title at the Chevron Championship. It was her second win at the tournament, also winning in 2024.

Korda, who is from Florida, followed that up with another win this weekend. She took home the title at the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba for her 18th career title. On Monday, Korda made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

The LPGA Tour star revealed that she is now a die-hard NFL team at 27 years old.

Korda, who got engaged last year, revealed to McAfee and A.J. Hawk that she is now a die-hard fan of the Green Bay Packers.

It's because of her fiancee.

"I've actually just become a big Packers fan. I've just gotten into football," she said.

"I have my Cheesehead right here. My fiancee, he's a huge Packers fan and I'm kind of marrying into it. I've fully sent into it. I love it. I've been out to Lambeau Field, I think it's the greatest place in the world."

It's an interesting time to be a Packers fan

The Packers have been the NFC North's best team of the past 20 to 25 years, without question. But, in recent years, the Bears, Vikings and even Lions have all had varying degrees of success.

The Bears, led by Caleb Williams, won the division last year. The Vikings and Lions could be threats in 2026, too.

Korda will be rooting for a team that has its work cut out for it as we head into the 2026 regular season.

But she got one thing right - Lambeau Field is as good of a place as any to watch a football game.
