Sports Illustrated Swimsuit curated a feature around professional golfer’s Nelly Korda steamy photo shoot for the iconic brand — including only skimpy red (and green!) bikinis.
“Nelly Korda’s Green and Red Suits Are Perfect for the Holiday Season,” splashed the headline for the article.
The steamy four-image gallery showed off the athlete’s sculpted figure in a skimpy red string bikini, and a green one that featured a long-sleeved crop top and tiny bikini bottoms.
“We’re drawing some timely swimwear inspiration from Nelly Korda's SI Swimsuit debut that was nothing less than extraordinary,” raved the magazine’s Christmas Eve share to X (formerly Twitter).
Korda’s shoot marked her Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue debut, photographed in her native Florida by famed photog Yasmine Eslami.
Korda, 27, called posing for the magazine “outside her comfort zone” in her interview with the brand, which countered that she was a natural.

“Her feature from the Sunshine State was nothing less than extraordinary,” raved the December 22 article in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “While on set in her home state, Korda flaunted her athletic physique and soft smile in a number of stunning suits, the majority of which featured vibrant hues that really popped against the resort’s dreamy backdrop.”
Korda definitely rocked it on set, and her SI Swimsuit feature is one we often revisit.
