How Much Prize Money Has Nelly Korda Won In 2025?
The World No.2 may have gone winless in terms of trophies through 2025, but she still accumulated an incredible amount of prize money along the way...
Following a remarkable seven-victory season in 2024, it was always going to be tough for Nelly Korda to match those standards in 2025, let alone surpass them.
Last year, the American banked $4.4 million in prize money and picked up $10 million in endorsements thanks to her agreements with Nike, TaylorMade and T-Mobile - among others.
And despite an incredibly consistent campaign this year, Korda failed to emerge from a single week with trophy in hand.
Nevertheless, her overall annual earnings were not far off the mark she hit in 2024, easing the sting of no individual on-course success.
Starting her season with a runner-up finish at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, Korda kicked off her year with a check for $227,000. However, the following four events yielded just under $140,000 collectively.
The 27-year-old's first Major appearance of 2025 - at the Chevron Championship - resulted in a respectable T14th finish and a payout of just over $100,000. The very next start, at the Mizuho Americas Open, saw Korda end the tournament T5th to collect another six-figure payout.
But it was at the US Women's Open where Korda earned what was comfortably her biggest check of the year, picking up a little more than $1 million for ending T2nd at Erin Hills - two strokes behind Maja Stark.

The 15-time LPGA Tour winner scored another five-figure check at the ShopRite LPGA Classic before adding a little more than $130,000 to her account via a top-20 at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
Korda then collected roughly $92,000 across both European Majors in what was a mildly disappointing stretch, although her fifth-place effort at the ISPA Handa Women's Scottish Open where she won almost $67,000 was more than a silver lining.
The former World No.1 returned to North American shores and set about trying to improve her form further, managing three top-10s in five starts and earning nearly $250,000 along the way.
Korda finished T15th at The Annika - an event she won 12 months previously - before ending third at the CME Group Tour Championship, topping up her earnings by almost $600,000 in a fortnight.
Unfortunately, her season would end without a win after Korda and playing partner Denny McCarthy came up agonizingly short at the Grant Thornton Invitational. Nevertheless, each took home a check for $190,000 after the pair finished T2nd at Tiburon Golf Club.
All told, Korda picked up $2.97 million in on-course earnings throughout 2025, making it a very good year for the 27-year-old, who recently announced her engagement to partner Casey Gunderson as well.
The good news doesn't stop there for Korda, either, with Sportico reporting that the Bradenton-born pro earned $11 million in endorsements this year as well, taking her total earnings to a shade under $14 million.
That made her the highest-paid female golfer anywhere on the planet, despite Jeeno Thitikul accruing nearly $8.27 million on course this year. However, the World No.1's endorsements reportedly reached $2.5 million, leaving her some $3.2 million behind her American rival.
Below is a complete breakdown of Nelly Korda's on-course earnings in 2025, tournament by tournament.
