Who is Nelly Korda’s boyfriend? Meet NHL player Andreas Athanasiou

Nelly Korda, the current World No. 1 in women’s golf, has been dating professional ice hockey player Andreas Athanasiou since 2019. Athanasiou, a talented center from Ontario, Canada, currently plays for the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL and has previously suited up for teams like the Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings, and Edmonton

Oilers. Known for his speed and skill, Athanasiou has been a professional player since 2014. Despite their public careers, Korda and Athanasiou maintain a relatively private relationship and have rarely shared their lives on social media. However, Athanasiou has been seen supporting Korda at several of her LPGA events, including caddying for her in 2021.

Korda, 26, had a standout season in 2024, claiming six LPGA tournament titles, including her second career major at the Chevron Championship. These victories propelled her to the top of the Rolex Rankings, where she holds a commanding lead. Adding to her accomplishments, Korda also played a pivotal role in the U.S. Solheim Cup team’s victory over Europe, marking her first Solheim Cup win.

Due to her remarkable performance, she was named the LPGA Tour’s Rolex Player of the Year for 2024. Korda, who hails from an athletic family—her father is former tennis star Petr Korda—was recently announced as a featured athlete for the upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, further expanding her influence in both the sports and media worlds.
