Golf fans are currently trying to digest the recent update a famous golf page has given. According to NUCLR GOLF’s recent tweet, Korda’s relationship with one of her strongest sponsors is in doubt. “Nelly Korda is no longer listed on the Titleist website as a TOUR staffer,” the tweet said.

However, the page also claimed that her sister Jessica Korda is still there on Titleist’s website. And so are the other players in signed deals for balls or other equipment. But there is official confirmation about any kind of changes in Korda’s deal yet.

Huge loss for Titleist. Men follow her the most of any lpga player and she has the best swing out there. Whoever picked her up paid for the value ✅

This could change golf as we know it. Wow.

On the other hand, some said it could be a sign that Korda could have joined LIV Golf. And these assumptions come from a long history of sponsors dropping players after they signed deals with the Saudi-backed league.
Clearly she's signed with LIV

Whereas, some claimed that the golf star was getting signed with other companies like TaylorMade and Molitor.
Believe she and Brooke are going to TM
