Golf superstar Nelly Korda is officially off the market after she announced her engagement on Friday.
Just days after bringing her LPGA season to a close, the World No 2 took to Instagram to share the happy news on Black Friday.
The 27-year-old revealed to her 1.2 million followers that she is set to wed her partner, Casey Gunderson.
The 15-time LPGA Tour winner shared a host of stunning photos of herself and her fiance with the happy couple looking loving into one another's eyes.
In other romantic snaps, the golfer was captured being embraced by her partner as they frolicked along the shore.
'In this life… & the next,' she captioned the post, adding a ring emoji.

Her fellow professionals were quick to congratulate Korda in the comments, including her golfing sister, Jessica Korda.
'Sorry boys, she's off the market,' Jessica joked.
Morgan Pressel, Lexi Thompson, Michelle Wie and Rose Zhang were also among the Tour members to send their well wishes.
Meanwhile, WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, who played with Korda earlier this month in an LPGA Pro-Am, and Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James, who has been a longtime admirer of her golf game, also shared their congratulations.
Even the Green Bay Packers, Korda's favorite NFL team, were quick to congratulate the loved-up pair.
The two-time major champion, who appeared in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit edition this year, notoriously keeps her personal life private, meaning there is little known about her husband-to-be and their relationship.
According to LinkedIn, Gunderson is a Vice President at Florida Engineering in the North Port-Sarasota area in the Sunshine State.
He was formerly a Division 1 athlete for Bryant University's football team where he played wide receiver.

Korda's announcement came just weeks after her brother, professional tennis player Sebastian Korda, also got down on one knee.
After finishing his season in Athens earlier this month, Sebastian popped the question to his long-time girlfriend Ivana Nedvevd. Ivana is the daughter of Pavel Nedved, a soccer legend and former Ballon d'Or winner.
Nelly is believed to have previously dated professional hockey player Andreas Athanasio. The couple were first linked back in 2019 with the NHL star pictured supporting the golfer at tournaments in 2021 but it is unclear when they split.
The proposal marks a cheery ending to the year for Korda, who wrapped up the 2025 season last week.
The former World No 1, who won seven times during a record year in 2024, couldn't replicate the feat as she failed to win a tournament in 2025.
Instead, she finished as a runner-up twice, in the top-10 seven times in 19 tournaments and was inside the top-25 six times, never missing a cut.
