Amid Sponsorship Rumors, LPGA Star Nelly Korda Signs a New Apparel Sponsor Joining the Likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy

Sponsors can make or break an athlete’s career. More often than not, athletes earn far more from their sponsorship deals than they do from their sport. In golf too, sponsors hold high value. They are also proof of a player’s skill since some companies sponsor only an elite bunch. In the LPGA, there are not many players with a better skillset than Nelly Korda. Her most recent sponsor stands testimony to that, as she joins the likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy with a recent signing.

Korda has become the face of the LPGA Tour in the last couple of years. The pro golfer has won eight times on the Tour and is only 24 years old. While she undoubtedly looks to get many more wins under her belt, Korda will do so under a new sponsor.

Korda’s new sponsorship news breaks the internet

Last week it come to light that Nelly Korda was no longer sponsored by Titleist. This led to multiple rumors floating around that the pro was signing with TaylorMade or Molitor. But the only thing certain was that Nelly had a sponsor. But things have now taken a complete turn for the better.

As per NUCLR Golf, Korda recently partnered up with Nike on an apparel deal. Joining the highly exclusive cohort, the World No. 2 now stands with the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Michelle Wie, who are also sponsored by Nike. Not only does this add to her reputation and prestige, but it is a testament to the 24-year-old’s talent as well.

Although the terms of her contract are not yet known, one thing is certain: Korda is more than glad to join such an elite club. Sponsorship from a prestigious brand like Nike could also open new avenues in sponsorship deals for the rising golfer.

Is Nelly Korda a Nike fan?

With her new sponsorship news spreading like wildfire, many fans wonder if Korda is indeed a fan of her newly signed partner. Although she has never outright come out and said it, it is apparent through her actions that the major winner is a huge Nike fan.

Very often in the past, she could be seen wearing Nike shoes on the course. She once even wore an unreleased pair of Nike Air Jordans that caught fans’ attention. Another time, Korda even made sure to take off her Nike shoes before she entered a water hazard on the course to play a shot.
