Who is Nelly Korda's Fiance? All You Need to Know About Entrepreneur Casey Gunderson
LPGA star's engagement shines new light on the private life of golf's No. 2

Nelly Korda's engagement has captured the golf world's attention, and fans are now eager to learn more about the man she will marry.
The LPGA star revealed her engagement to Casey Gunderson in a series of intimate photos, sharing the announcement on Instagram and confirming what many supporters had long hoped to see. The reveal prompted an outpouring of congratulations from athletes across sports, and it also placed a spotlight on the private life of one of golf's most recognisable figures.
According to People's report on the engagement, Korda posted images of the couple embracing at sunset, relaxing by the water and posing with a playful mock newspaper cover that read, 'We're Getting Married.' The moment marked the culmination of a strong finish to her LPGA season, which ended with a solo third place at the CME Group Tour Championship in Florida.
A Business Career Far From the Spotlight
Gunderson, unlike Korda, has kept a low public profile. His professional background is rooted in the engineering sector. As confirmed by Today's Golfer, he serves as Vice President of Florida Engineering, a Port Charlotte-based firm that works across structural and civil engineering projects. His company role has contributed to his reputation as a focused and ambitious executive.
Before his business career, Gunderson attended IMG Academy, where he played varsity football as a wide receiver. He later enrolled at Bryant University and made several appearances for the Bulldogs. His transition from sports to engineering underscores a disciplined path that mirrors Korda's own upbringing in an elite athletic family.
A Sporting Powerhouse Meets a Private Partner
Korda, a two-time major champion and the current world No. 2, grew up surrounded by high-level sport.
Her father, Petr Korda, won the Australian Open in 1998, while her mother, Regina Rajchrtová, competed professionally for Czechoslovakia. The family's success continued through her siblings. Jessica Korda became a six-time LPGA winner, and Sebastian Korda is a rising star in tennis. His own engagement earlier in November added another celebratory chapter for the family.
Although Korda's previous relationship with NHL forward Andreas Athanasiou drew some public attention, she maintained a preference for privacy. This continued with Gunderson, whose name remained largely unfamiliar to fans until the engagement announcement. Their relationship has now emerged publicly, yet they still present a calm and grounded partnership rather than a high-profile celebrity pair.
Life Beyond the Course
While Korda's career continues to gather momentum, her personal life is entering a new phase. She recently debuted her Nike Free Golf 'Nelly Korda' shoes, designed with colours inspired by her Leo zodiac sign and decorated with symbols meaningful to her. The engagement adds another milestone to a year of professional and personal growth.
The images shared online show a side of Korda rarely seen: relaxed, joyful and surrounded by family, including the couple's dog. The warm reactions from figures like LeBron James and Caitlin Clark reflect the respect she commands in the sports world, as well as the excitement around this next chapter.
What Comes Next for the Couple
Korda's busy schedule on the LPGA Tour is likely to continue, and Gunderson's business commitments remain central to his work. Yet the engagement signals a new level of openness in her private life and adds a compelling narrative for fans following one of golf's biggest stars.
The match between a world-class athlete and a grounded, successful entrepreneur has captivated audiences for its balance of ambition, stability and shared support. As Korda prepares for her tenth season on the LPGA Tour, her engagement provides a moment of celebration at the intersection of personal happiness and professional achievement.
