Nelly Korda ranked among top 10 highest-paid female athletes for 2024

LPGA superstar Nelly Korda has solidified her status as a trailblazer in women’s sports, earning a coveted spot among the top 10 highest-paid female athletes of 2024. Ranked eighth on the list by *Sportico.com*, Korda amassed an impressive $14.4 million in total earnings.

This includes $4.4 million from her extraordinary performance on the course, highlighted by seven LPGA victories, including her second major title at the Chevron Championship.

The remaining $10 million came from lucrative endorsement deals, a testament to her growing influence in and beyond golf. Her achievements are particularly remarkable given the relatively modest prize purses in women’s golf compared to their male counterparts.

While Korda’s earnings are significant, they pale in comparison to tennis star Coco Gauff, who topped the list with a staggering $30.4 million in combined on-court winnings and endorsements.

Other notable golfers also made the rankings, including Jeeno Thitikul and Lydia Ko, showcasing the growing financial opportunities for women in golf.

Despite the disparity in prize money, Korda’s historic season and rising commercial appeal underscore her pivotal role in elevating the profile of women’s golf on the global stage.
