LPGA Tour star Nelly Korda is trying new things, and she’s loving them. She recently gave matcha a second try after hating it the first time she took it, and has updated her followers with her new view on the drink.
Korda is on the ground at the Hoakalei Country Club for the 2025 Lotte Championship. Ahead of the tournament, she stopped at a Pua Blooms Matcha Baron the golf course and tried matcha for the second time ever.
The World No. 2 golfer shared a picture of herself taking a sip of her matcha drink while posing in front of a Lotte Championship signage. She wrote in the caption:
“First time I ever tried matcha I hated it… so I gave it another chance @puablooms 10/10”

Before that, the Bradenton native shared a picture of the Pua Blooms stand, showing their matcha and coffee options. She captioned it:
“So cute”

On the subject of trying new things and liking them, Nelly Korda also recently tried new footwear that she normally wouldn’t wear because it’s outside her style. She shared a picture of herself wearing the Nike Astra Ultra women’s sneakers, which featured a low-profile silhouette and soccer-cleat design.
Korda revealed that she was initially on the fence about wearing the $115 shoes. However, she shared that they were beginning to grow on her due to how comfortable they were.
“I was skeptical [because] this style isn’t me, but wow they’re growing on me & so comfy, they’re crazy soft too,” she wrote.
