The sports world is in mourning after the devastating news that Nelly Korda’s parents, former tennis stars Petr Korda and Regina Rajchrtová, have passed away. As shockwaves ripple across the globe, fans, athletes, and celebrities alike are rallying around Nelly, offering their heartfelt support during this unimaginable time.
Sources close to the Korda family confirmed the heartbreaking loss earlier today. Details surrounding their passing have not been fully released, but the impact on the sports community has been immediate and overwhelming. Both Petr and Regina were beloved not just for their accomplishments on the court, but for their warmth, humility, and the way they supported their children’s athletic dreams, particularly Nelly’s rise to the top of the golf world.
In the hours following the announcement, social media flooded with tributes. Fellow athletes, including tennis legends and PGA Tour stars, posted messages of love and encouragement for Nelly. “The entire sports world is standing with you, Nelly,” wrote one fellow LPGA player. “Your parents were incredible people who raised a champion in every sense of the word.”
Fans are also organizing an emotional tribute in honor of Petr and Regina. According to organizers, plans are underway to hold a public memorial service where supporters can gather, share memories, and celebrate the lives of two individuals who touched so many. The event, tentatively scheduled for next week, is expected to draw athletes from various sports — a testament to the lasting friendships and respect the Kordas built over decades.
At recent tournaments, players have been seen wearing black ribbons in solidarity, and moments of silence are being planned at upcoming golf and tennis events. The LPGA Tour released a statement expressing its “deep sorrow” and pledging to support Nelly in any way possible.
Those who knew Petr and Regina personally describe them as fiercely proud parents who never sought the spotlight, instead pouring their energy into nurturing their children’s talents while emphasizing humility and hard work. Their loss leaves a massive void not only in their family but also across the broader sports community.
For now, the focus remains on lifting up Nelly and the entire Korda family as they navigate this painful chapter. In the face of heartbreaking loss, the message from around the world is clear: Nelly Korda is not alone.
