Golf superstar Nelly Korda makes personal announcement

LPGA superstar Nelly Korda has taken to social media to confirm she is now engaged. 

Korda, 27, took to Instagram to reveal her special news with a series of photos of her with her fiancé, Casey Gunderson, celebrating on a beach.

"In this life... and the next," Korda posted on Instagram. 

Nelly's sister and fellow golfer Jessica Korda wrote: "Sorry boys, she's off the market."

Who is Nelly Korda's fiancé?

Nelly Korda is engaged to Casey Gunderson, who is the Vice President at Florida Engineering. 

He was formerly a Division 1 American Football athlete at Bryant University where he was playing as a wide receiver for the Bulldogs.

Nelly was previously dating NHL player Andreas Athanasiou.

Korda's family full of pro athletes

Nelly is from a family of professional athletes. 

Korda's parents are Czechoslovakian. Father Petr was born in Prague and mother Regina was born in Havlickuv Brod. They each repped their country as pro tennis players at top-level tournaments around the world. Petr's career highlight was winning the 1998 Australian Open.

Nelly's younger brother Sebastian is also a professional tennis player, while her older sister Jessica is a pro golfer. 

Korda was born in Bradenton, Florida, which is where she resides today. 

Earlier this week, Korda shared a light-hearted moment with her “golf crush” Tommy Fleetwood during TaylorMade’s content shoot in Florida.

The gathering brought together several of TaylorMade’s biggest names, including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Charley Hull.

Korda uploaded a photo of her with Fleetwood to Instagram — only this time, unlike their first interaction in 2021, she was much more relaxed about it. 

Her caption read: “Wasn’t scared to ask for a photo this time.”

In the snap, Fleetwood, 34, is seening holding one of Korda's red Goldman Sachs caps, signed with the playful message: “Tommy, you’re my golf crush forever!”

Korda also shared the first picture they took together back at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, creating a neat then-and-now comparison that fans quickly warmed to.

Nelly's sister Jessica Korda commented: “The confidence grew [fire emoji].”

Korda played in 19 events on the LPGA in 2025 and she made all 19 cuts. 

But she didn't win a single tournament, unlike in 2024 when she won seven times.

Korda ends the season World No.2, with Jeeno Thitikul out in front heading into 2026.
