On the social media platform Instagram, Korda uploaded a photo with the $440 million-worth (according to Celebrity Net Worth) actor.

Other than being a part of the movie, Nelly Korda marked another achievement as she joined Bryson DeChambeau in being a part of Donald Trump's Council of Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Apart from Korda and DeChambeau, veteran golfers like Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player are also part of the council.

However, DeChambeau might have added responsibility as he was named chairman of this council. As a part of the President's Council of Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, Korda will focus on promoting healthy eating, physical activity, and sports engagement across America.

Nelly Korda made an honest revelation about Happy Gilmore 2 last month

While it was known that the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau would be a part of Happy Gilmore 2, Nelly Korda's inclusion in the movie came as a surprise to many. As mentioned above, Korda played a small cameo in the movie as a doctor at Westford State Mental Hospital.

Before Korda could play the AIG Women's Open towards the end of July, she spoke about Happy Gilmore 2 in a press conference. Korda, at the time, revealed that she did not watch the movie but also mentioned that she planned to do the same. She also spoke about how it felt to meet Adam Sandler. Nelly Korda said:

"We're going to watch it either today or tomorrow. It was so cool getting to meet Adam Sandler, getting to be part of that process, and actually seeing how difficult acting is from that point of view."

While Korda's appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 left many fans excited, her performances on the golf course have yet to earn her a reward this season. In her last professional outing, Korda played at the AIG Women's Open, in which she finished T36 after four rounds.

Similarly, the 2x Major winner also had some disappointing results in other tournaments, which led to her falling out of the World No. 1 spot. In the ongoing season, Korda's best finishes were 2 and T2 at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and U.S. Women's Open, respectively.
