WHOOP is bringing together Nelly Korda and her siblings, Jessica and Sebastian, for four challenges.
Set to premiere in February 2026 on Golf Digest, the global golf media brand shared a teaser through its X account. And it promises a blend of fun competition with measurable stress.
The video began with Nelly sitting on top of a dunk tank, claiming that her heart rate was high. With WHOOP tracking their physiological responses, the siblings were acutely aware of how the challenges might show up in the data – the heart rate monitor.
“My WHOOP data will probably spike around the dancing,” Nelly noted. Meanwhile, Jessica leaned into the analytics angle, saying, “I can’t wait till it goes and be like ‘high stress, high stress, high stress!’”
The brief clips hint at how quickly things escalate. During the giant Jenga challenge, Sebastian admitted, “I didn’t wanna be the one to drop it.” The dunk tank only raised the stakes. “If they can both sit up there and I can just dunk it, I think that’d be the perfect way to go on about it,” he said.
Jessica, anticipating the outcome, added, “Him dunking Nelly and I, I mean, I would be more shocked if he didn’t. But if we dunk him…” And the video ended with a tone of suspense floating around the episode.
The teaser’s caption summed the emotions perfectly. “Three siblings. Four challenges. Which Korda will come out on top in the WHOOP Sibling Showdown?”
Nelly Korda Shares a Special Bond With Her Siblings That’s Forged by Elite Sport
With 15 LPGA Tour victories, two major championship wins, and a sustained run as world #1. Her sister, Jessica Korda, has built a similarly respected career on the LPGA Tour.

A six-time LPGA winner and longtime Solheim Cup participant, she has been in the sport for over a decade. While their styles differ, both sisters share sustained success at the professional level.
And Sebastian? He competes against professionals in men’s tennis. Competing on the ATP Tour, he has earned two career titles and has been fighting on the court for eight years.
Like his sisters, his career also demands constant adaptation, mental toughness, and comfort under pressure. And that has often brought the siblings together.
Whether it is a major championship, a tennis match, or a lighthearted challenge filmed for cameras, the Kordas seem to approach competition the same way. The showdown works because it reflects a real sibling bond shaped by elite sport, not a manufactured one.
Who do you think will be the superior Korda in February?
