Being a Popular LPGA Pro, How Many Sponsor Endorsements Does Nelly Korda Have in 2023?

The Korda sisters are very popular on the LPGA circuit. But amongst both, at present the most trending one is Nelly Korda. Korda Junior is one of the most prominent golfers on the LPGA circuit. The 28-year-old has eight LPGA wins to her name, including the 2021 Women’s PGA Championship, and even reached the first place in the Women’s World Golf Rankings.

Other than these, she even bagged the gold medal at the 2021 Summer Olympics, which took place in Tokyo. She has represented America three times in the Solheim Cup. Her maiden appearance was with her big sister, Jessica Korda, in 2019. Then again, the Korda duo played in the 2021 Solheim Cup. Nelly played in the 2023 Solheim Cup but Jessica wasn’t in the fray due to her pregnancy. 

Coming to her current year’s performances on the LPGA tour, Korda Junior displayed quite the expertise on the greens. She had seven top-ten finishes, which included majors like the Chevron Championship, where she stood at T3 with a score of 9-under 279. Then, in the Amundi Evian Championship, she finished at T9 with a score of 5-under 279. The star golfer earns quite hefty amounts from the tournaments she participates in. But apart from that, she also bags money from sponsorship deals and endorsements. Let’s take a look at Nelly Korda’s sponsors list!

Nelly Korda’s collaborations and endorsements

As the golfer’s popularity grows, she is gaining a massive brand value for herself. As a result, several top-notch companies and multinational brands are taking an interest in collaborating with her. Nelly Korda is linked to several renowned brands and actively endorses those. 

Nelly Korda entered into a partnership with Nike earlier this year with another LPGA golfer Brooke Henderson. The agreement is a multi-year one. In 2022, Nelly Korda endorsed the fashion brand J. Lindeberg and posted about the same on her Instagram handle by wearing their vibrant outfits, but in January 2023, Nelly was seen wearing a sky blue t-shirt by Nike at the Hilton Grand Vacations, suggesting a split with Lindeberg. Even during the Honda PGA Thailand, the professional golfer was noticed wearing a black Nike t-shirt.

Nelly has tied up with TaylorMade for golfing equipment. Like Nike, this deal came to pass earlier this year. The golfer has been seen using the brand’s irons and wedges. She also carried the brand’s golf bag to her tournaments. If one visits her Instagram handle, the TaylorMade connection is all the more evident. 

The fourth-place holder of the Rolex Women’s Golf Rankings signed a collaboration deal with the investment banking company Goldman Sachs back in March. She became the brand ambassador of the company and has been seen wearing their brand’s visors at most of her events, like during the Amundi Evian Championship. But Nelly Korda has lost sponsors too.

Nelly Korda took two huge steps this year. While she bid goodbye to J. Lindeberg, she entered into a collaboration with Nike. Later, she announced that she would quit Titleist (the golf equipment brand) — obviously in favor of TaylorMade.

“I signed with TaylorMade because of their proven ability to elevate the game of the best golfers in the world. In testing with the TaylorMade Tour Team, it was clear that not only was I working with high-performing equipment, but also a team that shared my passion for working as hard as possible to be in the best position to win. I’m thrilled to be a part of Team TaylorMade,” she said.
