It is a well-known fact that the world of professional golf is a highly lucrative one. Consequently, it is not surprising to see legends of the sport donning luxury watches on their wrists. From Tiger Woods to Jack Nicklaus to Colin Morikawa, the eye-watering prices of their luxurious watch collection will take your breath away.
Rolex, the luxury watch brand, for instance, has been a mainstay in the 15-time Major winner Tiger Woods’ career. Just like her golfing idol Woods, LPGA star Nelly Korda also boasts a stunning collection of watches. In 2019, the young player joined the Swiss luxury brand Richard Mille as an ambassador. Since then, Korda’s beautiful timepieces have always managed to grab the attention of the golf world at large.

At 24 years of age, Nelly Korda has already added several feathers to her cap. She won the gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan, becoming the second female golfer from the U.S. to do so. The world no.4 has won seven times on the LPGA Tour and has represented her country twice at the Solheim Cup.
Owing to her massive influence as a golfer, fans follow her every move with keen interest. Her choice of wristwatch during the KPMG Women’s PGA Partnership garnered significant attention as a result. During the 2021 event, Korda was spotted wearing a Richard Mille RM 007 on her wrist. The stunning blue watch from the Swiss luxury brand was on full display as the golfer lifted the trophy at the Atlanta Athletic Club. Introduced in 2005, the RM007 piece Korda wore had a timeless grade 5 titanium configuration.

The golfer, who is set to appear in the upcoming edition of Chevron Championship, garnered significant attention with her Richard Mille RM07-01 watch during the 2022 PNC Championship. Her stunning timepiece that came with a green rubber strap is worth $250,000. Over the years, the RM07-01 has become a frequent fixture on Korda’s wrists.
Until February 2023, Richard Mille did not boast a dedicated women’s sports watch lineup. The luxury watch brand wowed people this year with the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport. This elegant collection was created in cohesion with six high-profile female athletes, one of whom is the former world no. 1, Nelly Korda. The RM 07-04 Automatic Sport range made its debut in six different colorways, with each color dedicated to one of the female athletes that helped design them.

Richard Mille watches have been spotted on the wrists of several high-profile golfers over the years. Two-time Major champion, Bubba Watson, became a sponsor of the luxury brand in 2011. Since then, the brand has gone on to introduce stunning timepieces inspired by the golfer.
In 2019, Richard Mille announced Nelly Korda as its newest partner. At just 20 years of age, Korda, who will headline the Hanwha Lifeplus International Tour, became one of the youngest sportspersons to join the Richard Mille family. Her KPMG Women’s PGA Championship victory in 2021 while sporting a timeless Richard Mille RM 007 watch was a remarkable moment for the Swiss luxury brand. Last year, an American pro-tennis player and Nelly Korda’s sibling, Sebastian Korda, also became a part of the watchmaking brand.
