Nelly Korda has been making headlines in 2026. As of now, she has won three consecutive championships and has regained the World No. 1 ranking. While she is a standout golfer with prestigious accolades in the sport, many may not know that Korda is also a fan of an NFL team.
“I’ve actually just become a big Packers fan. I’ve just gotten into football,” said Korda on The Pat McAfee Show. “I have my Cheesehead right here.”
Hearing Korda’s love for the Green Bay Packers shocked hosts Pat McAfee and A.J. Hawk. But the Florida-born golfer also gave her explanation on why she’s become a fan of the NFL team based in Wisconsin.
“My fiancée he’s a huge Packers fan, and I’m kind of marrying into it. I’ve fully sent into it. I love it. I’ve been out to Lambeau Field, I think it’s the greatest place in the world.”
The World No. 1 golfer dated Casey Gunderson for over a year before getting engaged in November 2025. According to the reports online, Gunderson was the Director of Business Development and is now the Vice President at Florida Engineering LLC. It appears that Gunderson has played a significant role in influencing Korda’s support for the Packers.
Korda and Gunderson were even seen at the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Baltimore Ravens in late December 2025. Although the Packers suffered a 24-41 loss, it was just one of those moments where the couple’s love for the NFL team came into the public’s attention.
As a former wide receiver for Bryant University, Gunderson has a lifelong passion for football. It eventually aligned with his vocal support for the Packers. But with his growing relationship with Korda, even she admitted to becoming a fan of the Wisconsin-based NFL team.
Kordan joins a long list of celebrities who have expressed their love for the Packers. Lil Wayne, Justin Timberlake, and Ryan Reynolds are also known to be fans of the Wisconsin-based team.
