Inside Nelly Korda’s Hotel Room Ritual — Teammates Reveal Her Secret to Staying Number One!
What does it take to stay at the top of your game? For Nelly Korda, it turns out success starts behind closed doors — inside a quiet hotel room before each tournament.
Teammates recently shared the secret ritual Korda follows to stay grounded and focused, and fans can’t stop talking about it.
Before every big day, Nelly reportedly spends at least thirty minutes in complete silence — phone off, TV dark, just her and the quiet. She uses the time to visualize each shot, remember why she loves the game, and breathe away anxiety.
“She doesn’t skip it, no matter what,” one teammate revealed. “It centers her. After that, it’s like she’s in her own calm world.”
Part of the ritual also includes a worn journal she’s kept since her teenage years. In it, she writes one short affirmation: sometimes a quote, sometimes a single word like “focus” or “joy.”
Fans were fascinated by this glimpse into her routine. It shows that behind every composed swing and perfect putt is a mind carefully trained to block out noise and doubt.
For Nelly, it’s not superstition — it’s self-discipline. “It reminds me why I’m here,” she once shared.
In a world of flashing cameras and endless commentary, Korda’s quiet ritual proves that true strength often comes from moments no one sees. And maybe, it’s this balance of calm and focus that keeps her number one.
