Nelly Korda has made quite a name for herself in the world of professional golf, being named one of the top-15 highest-paid female athletes for 2024 according to Sportico. Alongside Korda, Jeeno Thitikul and Lydia Ko also made the list, with Korda earning a total of $14.4 million from on-course earnings and endorsements. Korda’s success can be attributed to not only her impressive on-course performance with seven total wins in the year, but also her lucrative brand partnerships with companies like Nike, T-Mobile, TaylorMade, and more. In addition to her golfing achievements, Korda has also expanded her reach beyond the course by attending events like the MET Gala and featuring in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue.

Jeeno Thitikul, another successful female golfer, earned $9.1 million in 2024 from on-course earnings and sponsorships, with a notable victory at the LPGA Tour’s CME Group Tour Championship. New Zealand’s Lydia Ko rounded out the list, earning $6.7 million from a successful season that included a win at the AIG Women’s Open. While Korda, Thitikul, and Ko represented golf on the list, tennis player Coco Gauff topped the rankings with $30.4 million in earnings, followed by freestyle skier Eileen Gu with $22.1 million.

The top-15 highest-paid female athletes for 2024 also included tennis players like Iga Swiatek, Naomi Osaka, and Emma Radacanu, as well as gymnastics legend Simone Biles and WNBA star Caitlin Clark. Tennis has historically dominated the list of highest-paid female athletes, with nine of the top-15 earners in 2024 coming from the sport. However, golfers like Korda and Thitikul have been making their mark and earning lucrative deals with endorsements and tournament winnings.

Earnings for female athletes in 2024 were determined by factors such as prize money, salaries, bonuses, endorsements, and other revenue streams related to their athletic careers. The figures provided by Sportico were compiled through conversations with marketing experts and individuals familiar with the athletes’ endorsement deals. These earnings represent a significant accomplishment for female athletes across various sports, highlighting their skills on and off the field.

In conclusion, Nelly Korda’s presence on the list of highest-paid female athletes for 2024 showcases her success both on the golf course and in the world of endorsements. Alongside fellow golfers Jeeno Thitikul and Lydia Ko, Korda has proven that women can excel and thrive in the competitive world of professional sports. As female athletes continue to make strides in their respective sports, it is essential to recognize and celebrate their achievements both as athletes and as influential figures in the sports world.
