World number two golfer Nelly Korda announced her engagement to partner Casey Gunderson on Instagram, sharing sweet photos just days after concluding her LPGA season. The news was met with widespread congratulations from fans and notable figures across sports, including LeBron James and Caitlin Clark. This happy milestone follows her brother Sebastian Korda’s recent engagement.

Nelly Korda, the world’s number two golfer, shared very happy news on Friday. She told everyone on Instagram that she is now engaged. She posted the news only a few days after she finished her LPGA season. She put up soft, sweet pictures with her partner Casey Gunderson, and the two looked very happy.

In one photo, Casey held her close as they smiled by the water. In another picture, they looked right into each other’s eyes. Nelly Korda wrote, “In this life… & the next,” and added a ring emoji. Her fans loved the post right away and filled the comments with love.

Many famous people also wrote to her. Her sister Jessica Korda joked, “Sorry boys, she’s off the market.” Other golfers like Morgan Pressel, Lexi Thompson, Michelle Wie West, and Rose Zhang also wrote sweet messages.

Casey Gunderson, Nelly Korda’s fiancé, keeps his life very private. But one thing we know is that he works as a Vice President at Florida Engineering in the North Port–Sarasota area. Before this, he played college football as a wide receiver at Bryant University. Nelly Korda also keeps her personal life away from the spotlight, so fans do not know much about their relationship, but they were very excited to hear this news.

This happy moment comes right after another milestone in the Korda family. Nelly Korda’s brother, tennis player Sebastian Korda, also got engaged this month. He proposed to his long-time girlfriend Ivana Nedved, who is the daughter of former Ballon d’Or winner Pavel Nedved.

Nelly Korda has had a busy year playing on the golf course. She did not win any tournaments in 2025, but she still played strong. She finished as runner-up two times, stayed inside the top-10 seven times, and made the top-25 six more times. She did not miss a single cut in 19 events. Even though she could not repeat her record year in 2024, where she won seven titles, her engagement ended her 2025 season on a bright and happy note.

This warm news has made fans smile everywhere, and the sweet pictures have become one of the most loved posts of her whole season.
