NELLY KORDA has become the latest athlete to star in Sports Illustrated’s famous swimsuit edition.
The golf superstar, 26, has followed in the footsteps of the likes of Simone Biles, Eugenie Bouchard and Alex Morgan by gracing the magazine’s special issue.
The reigning world No.1 attended a photoshoot with SI last year.
Korda has now posted several snaps from the shoot to her Instagram account.
Captioning them, the American wrote: “A DREAM AHHHHHH so excited to be featured alongside so many fellow athletes and amazing women!
“Had the most amazing time last year w/ the best crew! Thank you to everyone that helped make this happen!”
