With the ongoing form, Nelly Korda is the best LPGA star who has won 7 titles in the 2024 season. With her phenomenal performance after turning pro in 2017, she has made a permanent place in the headlines. Until now, she has had 15 LPGA Tour victories, including two majors, the Chevron Championship (2024) and the Women’s PGA Championship (2021). She was named the LPGA Tour Player of the Year for her consistent performance.
Well, not just her on-course improvement but also her performance has widely impacted her net worth. She was placed among the eight highest-paid female athletes in 2024. But apart from her on-course earnings’ contribution to her $12.5 million net worth, a huge share comes from her brand partnerships and endorsements.
Her newest partnership announcement came this year in January 2025. The American professional signed a new partnership with account giant Ernst & Young (EY). The announcement of the new partnership was made through a social media platform, sharing the photos of the professional. The caption of the post read, “Game Changers Legacy Makers. Meet Team EY . Shaping the future of sports with confidence.” Along with Korda, Megha Ganne, Rickie Fowler, and Ernie Els were also part of the team.
Before the partnership, the golfer had managed to generate $1.3 million in 2024 with her partnership agreement with TaylorMade and Nike. As part of the multi-year deal, the former Titleist staff player’s golf bag has been changed to all from TaylorMade. She uses the brand’s famous TP5x golf balls. Korda partnered with the brand in January 2023, and now, two years later, the partnership roster has added more brands.
In July 2024, Korda, along with Ludvig Aberg, got a sponsorship deal with the luxury luggage brand Tumi, a subsidiary of Samsonite. Even in 2025, she in April 2025 shared a post on Instagram with her BMW M50 i4 and the new luggage sponsor Tumi 19D lite. She posted a photo with the caption, “6 am roll up @tumitravel #TUMI #TUMI19DLite.” Along with that, she, being a fitness enthusiast and athlete, partnered with WHOOP. The brand with the partnership offers players, caddies, and other personnel free bands.
Along with these brands, Korda’s portfolio includes BMW Group, Cisco, Delta Air Lines, Goldman Sachs, Grant Thornton, Richard Mille, and T-Mobile. Well, the partnership is just a fraction of her earnings. Having the best year 2024 with seven titles, she has had a whopping purse increase with her on-course earnings.
Earnings of Nelly Korda in 2024
Korda and Scottie Scheffler both won 7 titles, but the difference was the league they participated in. Being a PGA Tour professional, Scheffler bagged $63 million with official money and bonuses, while his caddie bagged $5.5 million. However, interestingly, despite having the same count, Korda earned $4.4 million. She was even placed second in the top earner of the year. She was $1.7 million behind Jeeno Thitikul. The CME Group Tour Championship made an impact for Thitikul as she bagged $4 million as the biggest check in women’s golf.
But despite that, the Floridian was placed eighth in the highest-paid athlete list of 2024. She won five consecutive titles in 2024, and her biggest check also came at his fifth victory, which was the Chevron Championship. Korda beat Sweden’s Maja Stark by two strokes for her victory and clinched $1.2 million in her bag.
Apart from that, she pocketed $487,500 at the Annika and $450,000 at the Mizuho Americas Open. At the same time, her other major income stood between $262,000 and $337,500. Despite some of her biggest victories, she was $50 million short of Scheffler’s 2024 earnings, as Korda ended the year with $13.3 million. Looking at her year-on-year earnings, 2024 was the peak where she bagged $4.4 million and $10 million, approximately, in endorsements. However, before this, in 2021, Korda was able to earn the highest, i.e., $2.4 million.
But unlike last year, Nelly Korda hasn’t been on the upside trend, as she has mixed results with her performance this year. She started with a runner-up finish at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, but later it saw a drop. She was T7 and T22 at the Founders Cup and Ford Championship. So can she break the record for the highest earnings this year? What are your thoughts on it? Share with us in the comments below.
