Annika Sörenstam of Sweden plays her shot from the third tee during the third round of the 2022 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club on January 22, 2022 in Orlando, Florida. Meet the two sisters, with famous tennis playing parents, bringing further honour to their family name via the tee. Korda’s irons are a split set from PXG where she uses the more game-improvement 0311XF in her 5-iron before transitioning to the more player-ish 0311T for her 6-iron through pitching wedge. But at a time when. Nelly Korda’s net worth is estimated to be around $5. Standing on the 18 th tee, Korda needed a birdie up the last to become only the second woman to shoot 59.
