These LPGA Stars Are Among The Highest-Paid Female Athletes in 2025

While Spotify and Apple Music users are dueling it out over their wrapped lists—one of my favorite end-of-year lists came out earlier this week—the list of the highest-paid female athletes.

Conducted and reported by Sportico, this year's list featured some familiar faces. The top two players in the Rolex World Rankings, Jeeno Thitikul and Nelly Korda, found themselves in good company being among the 15 women who all earned over $10 million in 2025.

According to Sportico, Korda ranked 7th on the list and Thitikul rounded things out at being the 15th highest paid athlete.

The American golfer made an estimated $2.8 million in official tournament earnings, and an additional $11 million through her endorsements. Not bad for the 27-year-old considering she didn't record a win this season, but she earned nine top-10s in 19 starts.

As for Thitikul, she ends the 2025 LPGA season as the highest earner with her three titles, including the largest payout in women's golf at the CME Group Tour Championship. The 22-year-old is a two-time winner of the Tour's season-ending event and has a whopping $8 million in earnings just from the past two years.

She collected $7.6 million from the LPGA season, with her year-long earnings totaling out to $10.1 million.
