Nelly Korda has shared a light-hearted moment with her “golf crush” Tommy Fleetwood during TaylorMade’s annual content shoot in Florida, adding a fun twist to their growing collection of photos together.
The gathering brought together several of TaylorMade’s biggest names, including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Charley Hull, but it was Korda and Fleetwood who delivered one of the week’s most entertaining social posts.
Korda, 27, uploaded a new photo of the pair to Instagram — and this time she was far more relaxed about asking for it.
Her caption read: “Wasn’t scared to ask for a photo this time.”
In the snap, Fleetwood, 34, holds one of her red Goldman Sachs caps, signed with the playful message: “Tommy, you’re my golf crush forever!”

Korda also shared the first picture they took together back at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, creating a neat then-and-now comparison that fans quickly warmed to.
Nelly’s sister Jessica Korda commented: “The confidence grew [fire emoji].”

Despite finishing third at the CME Group Tour Championship, she went winless on the LPGA this year and surrendered her World No.1 ranking to Jeeno Thitikul. The Thai superstar successfully defended the CME title and also won the Race to CME Globe, which Korda captured in 2024.
It was by no means a poor season for Korda, however. She made 19 of 19 cuts and recorded nine top-10 finishes — a solid season for many, but this is Nelly Korda with high standards.
Fleetwood, meanwhile, has just enjoyed one of the standout seasons of his career, especially the last few months.
He finally broke through for his first PGA Tour victory in his 164th start, winning the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup in the same week.
The Englishman’s form continued at the Ryder Cup, where he top scored with four points from a possible five, helping Luke Donald’s Europe defeat Keegan Bradley’s USA 15–13 in New York.

A win at the DP World India Championship then followed in October, contributing to a remarkable $25m in on-course earnings for 2025.
Fleetwood’s consistency will see him climb to a career-high World No.3 next week, giving TaylorMade a sweep of the top three OWGR spots alongside Scheffler and McIlroy heading into 2026.
While a landmark achievement for Fleetwood, his next step is clear and that is breaking through for a maiden major title.

Fleetwood’s final start of 2025 comes this Friday at the revamped Skins Game on Amazon Prime, where he’ll face Shane Lowry, Xander Schauffele and Keegan Bradley at Panther National.

Meanwhile, two-time major champion Korda will complete her year at the Grant Thornton Invitational, partnered with Denny McCarthy at Tiburón Golf Club from 12-14 December.
While both players’ seasons have taken different shapes, Korda’s light-hearted exchange with Fleetwood offers a welcome reminder that even amid packed schedules and high stakes, golf still finds room for these small, memorable moments.
