Nelly Korda has been the standout player in the women's game this year, with an incredible seven victories including her second Major triumph at the Chevron Championship.
She has become the first person since Yani Tseng in 2011 to win seven times in a single LPGA season.
The Floridian won a remarkable five consecutive tournaments between and then picked up her sixth trophy in seven starts at the Mizuno Americas Open in June. She bagged her seventh trophy of the year in November at The Annika, and currently sits clear at the top of the world rankings, Race to CME Globe points list and the LPGA money list.
Much has been made of Scottie Scheffler's earnings this year, with the men's World No.1 also enjoying an historic season on the PGA Tour. Scheffler has won around $62m in official money and bonuses, including the $25m FedEx Cup, and his caddie Ted Scott has earned around $6m too.
Incredibly, Korda has earned less than Scheffler's looper this year despite her seven victories, showing the enormous gap between money in the men's and women's games.
Korda has earned just shy of $4.2m on the LPGA Tour this season, which puts her top of the money list by around $1.35m ahead of US Women's Open champion Yuka Saso.
Korda's biggest payday in 2024 came at the Chevron Championship in April, where she beat Sweden's Maja Stark by two to win her fifth consecutive tournament and second Major championship to bank $1.2m.
Her second-biggest check came at The Annika where she pocketed $487,500, with her third-largest check of $450,000 coming at the Mizuho Americas Open, where she banked 450,000. Her other four victories earned her between $262,500 and $337,500.
It has taken her career earnings on the LPGA Tour to $13.1m, which remarkably is still around $50m short of what Scheffler has earned in 2024.
Korda is currently 17th in the LPGA Tour's career money list, which she should be very near the top of by the end of her incredible career.
