Nelly Korda joins Tiger Woods in new Upper Deck partnership

Upper Deck has announced that World No.2 Nelly Korda has joined its roster as an exclusive athlete, further strengthening the company’s presence in golf collectibles.

Korda joins a high-profile lineup that includes Tiger Woods, Collin Morikawa, Rose Zhang and Lydia Ko. The agreement comes as Upper Deck marks 25 years of producing golf trading cards and memorabilia.

Under the partnership, Korda will feature in 2026 Upper Deck Golf trading cards, including her highly anticipated Young Guns card, along with a range of special inserts. 

Korda will also headline a new Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA) memorabilia collection celebrating her career achievements.

Upper Deck president Jason Masherah said Korda represents the type of athlete who transcends her sport.

“She can bring new collectors to the hobby, and in turn we’ll deliver the Upper Deck standard: premium trading cards and memorabilia that reflect Nelly as a one-of-a-kind athlete,” he said.

Korda’s rise has been one of the most impressive in modern women’s golf. 

Since turning professional at 17 and winning in her debut season, she spent some 17 months at the top of the Women’s World Golf Rankings before being replaced by Jeeno Thitikul in August 2025. 

Korda's 21 professional victories include major titles in 2021 and 2024, as well as Olympic gold at the Tokyo 2020 Games.

Her 2024 campaign was particularly historic as she won seven LPGA Tour events, including five consecutive tournaments, capped by victory at the 2024 Chevron Championship. Those landmark moments will feature prominently across Upper Deck Golf and Goodwin Champions trading cards, as well as UDA signed memorabilia.

Korda’s first memorabilia collection is available now, offering signed polos, visors and specially designed prints celebrating key moments in her career — with particular focus on her standout 2024 season.

Korda said she is looking forward to engaging with collectors through the partnership.

“I’ve seen firsthand the passion and joy that collecting brings to so many people,” she said. 

“It isn’t just about creating collectibles; it’s about working with a company that knows how to best represent your brand and connect with fans all over the world.”

The 2026 Upper Deck Golf set will be available through Certified Diamond Dealers, selected retailers and Upper Deck’s e-Pack platform.
