The golf world has been shaken to its core after American golf star Nelly Korda emotionally broke her silence regarding an alleged sexual assault involving a prominent male golfer, whose identity remains undisclosed pending investigation.
In a tearful televised interview late Sunday night, Korda described the emotional toll the incident has taken on her, saying she “could no longer stay silent while living with the pain and fear.” Her statement immediately sent shockwaves across the global sports community, sparking widespread outrage and renewed conversations about sexual misconduct in professional sports.
Fans and fellow athletes have since flooded social media with messages of support for Korda while expressing anger and disappointment toward the alleged perpetrator. Hashtags such as #JusticeForNelly and #ProtectWomenInSports began trending within hours, as advocacy groups called for a thorough and transparent investigation by golf’s governing bodies.
The PGA and LPGA have released a joint statement expressing “deep concern” over the allegations, pledging full cooperation with authorities and emphasizing their “commitment to ensuring safety and respect for all athletes.”
As the investigation unfolds, the sports world remains on edge, with many calling this one of the most disturbing scandals in golf’s modern history.
