Nelly Korda has been making big moves on the LPGA Tour with six wins under her belt for this 2024 season.

Rickie Fowler and Korda have impressed fans worldwide with their skills on the golf course and have now joined forces to conduct a clinic for golfers in Canada.

TaylorMade has been a loyal sponsor to Korda and Fowler since 2023 and 2019 respectively. The brand hosted a special shot-shaping clinic for fans in Canada which saw the pair go head to head in a new challenge, to promote their new TP5x golf balls.

A drone was being flown across the driving range with the aim for the two stars to try and hit it with their TP5x golf balls. Nelly Korda got ahead of Rickie Fowler to smash the drone first with an incredible low launch shot.
