Nelly Korda, one of the brightest stars on the LPGA Tour, surprised fans and the golf world this Black Friday by announcing she is engaged.
Sharing the news via Instagram, Korda revealed that she will marry Casey Gunderson. Alongside the announcement, she posted a series of nine photos from a recent photoshoot, including intimate beach shots, all capturing the joy and excitement of this new chapter in her life.
In one image, a newspaper headline reads, “We’re getting married!” accompanied by her caption: “In this life… and the next.”
The announcement quickly drew attention not just from fans but also from her family. Her older sister, fellow professional golfer Jessica Korda, added a playful note in the comments: “Sorry boys, she’s off the market.”
The comment shows the kind of affection and support the couple have around them, offering a glimpse into Korda’s personal life when she isn’t busy swinging a club.
A milestone off the greens for a champion
While the engagement marks an exciting personal milestone, Korda‘s career remains equally impressive. She has accumulated 15 LPGA Tour victories and two major championships, establishing herself as a consistent force in women’s golf.
Though the 2025 season did not bring her a victory, she still delivered strong performances, including several top10 finishes and a solo third-place finish at the CME Group Tour Championship.
Casey Gunderson, her fiancé, has largely stayed out of the public spotlight until now. He reportedly works as a Vice President at an engineering firm in Florida and was a former collegiate wide receiver, adding an athletic background to the partnership.
For Korda, this engagement comes at a time of renewed focus both personally and professionally. She recently returned to the LPGA Tour after a short break due to a neck issue, signaling her commitment to her health as she looks to regain her top form.
As Korda and Gunderson prepare for this new chapter, the golf world watches with excitement, eager to see how the next phase of their lives plays out. With her career achievements and personal life clicking, the next season promises to be memorable for one of golf’s brightest stars.
