Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko are among the best players on the LPGA Tour. Even the Rolex Rankings List will not differ from the fact. On one hand, Nelly Korda has been enjoying the first position, while Ko is in the third position, following Lilia Vu. This season has been a close one for both, with both winning one major each, Ko clinching the gold at the Olympics, and Korda having a historic run on the LPGA Tour at the beginning of the season.

Nelly Korda bagged six wins on the Tour, 5 of which were consecutive. So, when it comes to their net worth, who has more?

Lydia Ko has a net worth of $25 million

According to Forbes, Lydia Ko was ranked 14th on the list of highest-paid female athletes in 2022. In 2024, her first victory came at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament, followed by the AIG Women’s Open, and the Queen City Championship wins. She has managed to earn a substantial amount for these three victories.

Her total earnings for this season on the Tour have resulted in $2,559,946. She appeared in 17 events on the Ladies Tour so far and made cuts in 15 of them. Out of which, she had seven top-10 finishes. Her total official career earnings on the Tour is a whopping $ 19.5 million.

Lydia Ko’s Callaway contract is estimated to be worth $1 million annually. Additionally, her other sponsorship agreements bring in close to $750,000 every year. She is worth approximately $25 million in 2024. Ko is looking forward to starting a family soon with her husband and probably would be retiring soon from golf to do so. She recently spoke about how she would not be able to hand both things to utmost perfection,  “I don’t think I could be competitively playing and have a family, though.” 

And what does Ko call women who do both? Superwomen!  “I call them superwomen because it’s hard enough carrying my own suitcase and golf bag!” said Ko. With Golf Hall of Famer probably hanging her clubs soon, Korda will have a lot of time to match with her.

What is Nelly Korda’s net worth in 2024?

LPGA Tour’s cover girl had 2024 of her dreams. She was winless the entire year in the 2023 season, but boy, did she return with a bang. The 13x Tour winner has been enjoying a top position on the Race to CME Globe points list since the beginning of the season and also banked the top position on the LPGA money list. She has earned a total of $3.7 million this season, with her career earnings being $12.6 million.

As of 2024, her net worth is around $10 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. She has big brands like Nike, TaylorMade, Goldman Sachs, and Richard Mille sponsoring her. She loves her Richard Mille watches; “You never think about how much work goes into a single watch. It’s like surgery. As an athlete, your sport is your art. This means we can appreciate all the more how much work the Richard Mille watchmakers put into their art.”

The 2024 Paris Olympics Winner, however, enjoys more net worth than Nelly Korda. Who is your favorite female golfer among the two? Nelly Korda or Lydia Ko? Let us know in the comments section below!
