Despite Having a Heartbreak at $3,000,000 Event, Nelly Korda Finds Silver Lining With Her Sponsor-Mate’s Win

Nelly Korda stands out as one of the most talented golfers on the LPGA Tour. The American professional player has made a unique name for herself in the golf world with her dramatic tournament finishes and unfathomable victories. And due to all her great achievements, she is not only a favorite for her fans, but also for her numerous sponsors.

Being one of the most skilled players in the world, Korda has been able to attract huge sponsorship deals from billion-dollar companies. And one of these giants is Grant Thornton USA, who has not only signed Korda, but also a few other talented golf stars. In fact, Korda recently shared a special message for one of her Grant Thornton colleagues and fellow golfer over his recent feat!

Nelly Korda congratulates fellow Grant Thornton ambassador

Korda, 24, has been in the headlines ever since she stepped on the field for the 2023 LPGA Tour season. Although she had a pretty bumpy ride last year, her recent performances have been nothing less than a treat for the fans to watch. Not to forget, her recent T6 finish at the JM Eagle LA Championship was equally impressive as her other recent tournaments.

Nonetheless, being an athlete doesn’t only require a great set of skills, but also a heart humble enough to appreciate the victory of other athletes. And keeping up her positive spirits, Korda recently congratulated one of the most efficient players on the PGA Tour, Tony Finau, over his recent victory at the Mexico Open at Vidanta.

The two have been very respectful of each other’s golfing skills and share a friendly bond. Moreover, both Finau and Korda share a special relationship because of their mutual sponsor, famous accounting giant Grant Thornton USA. “Congratulations to my teammate and fellow @grantthorntonusa ambassador (Tony Finau) on his win in Mexico!!! Let’s go!!!!” she wrote on her Instagram story.

When did Finau join Korda in representing Grant Thornton?

Finau and Korda teamed up at the Grant Thornton Invitational in December last year. “I’ll be teaming up with @NellyKorda at the inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational in December to take on top players from across the PGA TOUR and LPGA!” Finau tweeted before the tournament. And it was shortly after the golfer joined the brand as one of its ambassadors.

On the other hand, Korda began to represent the brand a little before Finau last year. But the two have definitely added a lot of value to the company and its reputation. Who do you think is a better golfer between Nelly Korda and Tony Finau? Let us know in the comments section!
