Nelly Korda will still be on a high after her stunning 2024 season, with the world number one dominating the LPGA Tour.

Korda concluded her eighth LPGA Tour year on a high, triumphing at The ANNIKA before finishing T5 at the CME Group Tour Championship.

The American became a multiple major winner in 2024, with Korda having emerged victorious at the Chevron Championship.

Hugely impressively, Korda shot in the 60s in 63.2% of her rounds, while five of her seven LPGA Tour titles came in successive events.

And perhaps unsurprisingly, she has combined that success with sponsorship deals to land a place among the top 15 highest-paid sportswomen of 2024.

As per Sportico, the 26-year-old ranked eighth in the list thanks to her total earnings of $14.4million, with Korda climbing two places from 2023.

But she isn’t the only LPGA Tour ace to have made the cut, with Jeeno Thitikul occupying 12th spot with $9.1million.

She wasn’t in last year’s list, but has appeared in 2024 largely thanks to her CME Group Tour Championship win, where Thitikul earned $4million, the largest first-place prize in the history of women’s golf.

And also making the top 15 was Lydia Ko, who ranked 15th with her $6.7million total, having also not been placed in 2023.

How much did Nelly Korda earn from winnings and endorsements?

Along with her glittering golf season, endorsements helped world number one Korda rise the charts this time around.

She appeared at the Met Gala and in Sports Illustrated, with her partners including the likes of Nike, T-Mobile, TaylorMade and Goldman Sachs among others.

But plenty of praise does, of course, need to go her way for her achievements on the course, where Korda became the first American woman with seven season wins since Beth Daniel in 1990.

Female tennis athletes dominated the top 15 with nine places, while basketball star Caitlin Clark and gymnastics icon Simone Biles also made the list.

Clark played with Korda in The ANNIKA pro-am last month, with that partnership perhaps set to reappear in 2025 given the former’s love of golf away from basketball.
