HOT NEWS: Elon Musk Decides To Withdraw Support For Women’s PGA Championship Unless Nelly Korda’s Medal And Bonus Are Revoked
In a stunning development that has rocked the professional golf world, tech billionaire Elon Musk has publicly announced that he will withdraw all support for the Women’s PGA Championship unless tournament officials revoke Nelly Korda’s recent championship medal and accompanying performance bonus. The announcement, made through Musk’s personal X (formerly Twitter) account, has sparked a firestorm of debate, confusion, and outrage across social media and sports media outlets worldwide.
According to Musk’s post, he believes Korda’s recent win at the championship was “tainted by unfair advantages,” though he failed to provide specific evidence or detailed allegations. His exact post read: “If integrity still matters in sports, Korda’s medal and financial bonus must be revoked. Until then, I’m pulling my support. #WomensGolf #FairPlay.” Musk had previously pledged funding for future tournaments and initiatives aimed at elevating women’s golf through technological innovation and prize pool expansion. That pledge now appears to be indefinitely suspended.
Korda, widely regarded as the current face of women’s golf, claimed her championship win with consistent performance and admirable composure, and her victory was met with praise from fans, athletes, and analysts alike. However, the abrupt shift in tone from Musk has cast a shadow over what was a celebrated moment for both the player and the sport. Korda’s management team has responded by calling Musk’s accusations “baseless, harmful, and driven by ulterior motives.”
Sources close to the Women’s PGA Championship suggest Musk had been privately expressing dissatisfaction with recent shifts in leadership and sponsorship deals within the LPGA ecosystem, particularly those that allegedly downplayed his role in the sport’s promotion. One anonymous insider stated, “This isn’t about Korda’s performance—it’s about ego, visibility, and control.”
Meanwhile, LPGA officials have issued a formal statement defending Korda’s win, affirming the integrity of the judging process and stating that there were “no irregularities or violations” during the championship. They further emphasized their commitment to player equity, fairness, and professional standards, and made it clear that no actions will be taken based on Musk’s demands.
This isn’t the first time Musk has publicly clashed with organizations or individuals over perceived injustices or power dynamics. His reputation for impulsive statements and controversial takes has made him both a disruptive innovator and a divisive figure in multiple industries—from automotive and aerospace to cryptocurrency and now, apparently, women’s golf.
As of now, there has been no indication that tournament officials will reconsider Korda’s win or financial rewards. Still, the situation continues to evolve, and many are watching closely to see if Musk’s influence will sway any decisions in the days to come. Whether this marks a one-off outburst or the beginning of a deeper rift between Musk and the LPGA remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: the world of women’s golf has just been thrown into unexpected turbulence.
