Nelly Korda was spotted in the gym this week, wearing a white Nike tank top and black high-waisted leggings, as she continued her strength work ahead of the upcoming Grant Thornton Invitational. The World No. 2 is on a short break before returning for her final event of the year, training alongside her brother, Sebastian Korda, who was dressed in a grey full-sleeve T-shirt and black shorts.
The two were spotted during a strength workout, with Korda focused on deadlifts as part of her preparation. Talking more about Korda’s Instagram story, here’s a look:
Korda is coming off a third-place finish at the CME Group Tour Championship on November 23, where she closed the LPGA season at 20-under. She will now head to Tiburón Golf Club for the mixed-team Grant Thornton Invitational. Last year, she teamed up with PGA Tour pro Daniel Berger and the duo finished 13th.
The 2025 season has been a challenge for Korda. After winning seven titles in 2024, she went winless this year despite 19 starts, two runner-up results, and nine top-10 finishes. Her season also saw her slip from World No. 1 to No. 2 in the Rolex Rankings.
While the Grant Thornton Invitational is not an official LPGA event, a strong showing could still help her close the year on a positive note. Her latest gym session comes as she recently shared personal news on social media.
Nelly Korda announces engagement with beachside photoshoot
Nelly Korda shared a major personal update recently. The 27-year-old revealed on November 28 that she is engaged, posting a set of photos on Instagram the day after Thanksgiving. She kept the caption brief, writing,
“In this life… & the next 💍,” alongside images from a beachside engagement shoot captured by Outer Banks photographer Kasey Powell.
The photos show Korda and her fiancé, Casey Gunderson, dressed in coordinated white outfits during the session. While the LPGA star has always kept her personal life low-profile, the announcement quickly drew attention across the golf world. Her post also received reactions from her sister, Jessica Korda and NBA icon LeBron James and fellow golfers including Lexi Thompson and current World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul.
Nelly Korda also posted a few behind-the-scenes moments from the engagement shoot on her Instagram story. One of the clips showed her sharing a warm hug with photographer Kasey Powell, whom she credited for capturing the special day. She added a short note on the image that read:
“The most talented @kaseypowellphoto !!! 🥰🥰
After the Grant Thornton Invitational, Korda will wrap up her year at the PNC Championship in Orlando from December 18–21. She is set to team up with her father, Petr Korda, for the family event at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando Grande Lakes.
