Nelly Korda and Malbon Will Never Be Partners After Her Split With Nike, Here’s Why

Nеlly Korda is one of the biggest stars in women’s golf. Korda signed the deal with Nike in January 2023 and has since worn the iconic swoosh logo on his apparel and footwear. However, there are rumors that Nikе is planning to exit the golf market altogether because the sport has not been as profitable as the brand wanted it to be. If that happens, the LPGA phenom will have to look for another apparel brand to sport on the greens.

Amidst an array of brands to choose from, such as TaylorMade, Greyson, and Malbon Golf, she is very unlikely to choose the third one, if the situation ever comes to it. Reason? It just doesn’t align with her!

After Jason Day, Malbon Golf signed three more golfers.

After Jason Day, Malbon Golf promptly signed three other golfers as well! The names of the LPGA stars to be added to the brand’s roster are Charly Hull, Jeongeun Lee, and Jesper Parnavik. Malbon’s co-founder was elated to announce the new partnership and said that the new faces of the brand are the right fit for the brand, as they align with his vision. Not only their talent but these golfers’ contract with Malbon was also affected by their appearance and style.

While talking about the faces of the brand, co-founder Stephen Malbon seemed to be gushing over the brand’s new female ambassadors. He said, “The other girls are just training, training, training, but 6 [Lee] likes to go shopping and really cares about that world. Charley does as well.” While talking about Charley Hull, Stephen further said, “She’s [Hull] definitely into showing who she is, being fit, and showing off the body she works so hard at.”

According to the words chosen by the brand’s management, it seems that they care more about fashion and are looking forward to adding fashionable golfers to their roster. On these grounds, the brand cares more about appearance and style, so Korda does not seem to be the right fit for the brand.

Nelly Korda is not the right fit for Malbon Golf

Nelly Korda is one of those players who does not appear to share the same sense of style and lifestyle as the ambassadors chosen by Malbon Golf. Why, you may wonder? Well, because she rarely posts about her outfits, shopping experiences, or accessories on social media. The LPGA cover girl prefers to share more about her workouts and swings with the fans on her social platforms. The 25-year-old also shares glimpses from her practice sessions. The youngest Korda sister has a different personality and lifestyle from others, and her fans admire her childlike persona.

However, Korda has not commented on the speculations about her future with Nikе, but one thing that seems to appear from the brand’s management remarks is that she will not choose to go to Malbon Golf. She will likely look for a sponsor that suits her choices and persona. What are your thoughts on this? Do let us know in the comments below!
