Nelly Korda has become the third golfer in LPGA history to surpass $4 million in a single season. With seven victories and three other top-10 finishes, she has earned $4,164,430 in 2024. She now eyes a record-breaking payday at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.
Lorena Ochoa set the single-season earnings record in 2007 with $4,364,994, a mark that has remained untouched for 17 years. Lydia Ko came close in 2022, falling just $591 short. With one event remaining, Korda has a chance to rewrite history.
The CME Group Tour Championship offers a $4 million first-place prize, the largest in LPGA history. A victory would nearly double Korda’s earnings and make her the first female golfer to surpass $8 million in a single season. This would set a new financial benchmark in women’s golf.
Korda’s dominance reflects the LPGA’s rising prize money and increased competitiveness. Her stellar season showcases not only her talent but also the growing financial rewards in women’s golf. As the season finale approaches, all eyes are on her potential record-breaking achievement.
