Photos snapped in sunny Miami show golf queen Nelly Korda holding a smoothie in one hand and strolling alongside a charming stranger who looked like he’d stepped straight out of a GQ fitness spread. The two appeared relaxed, sun-kissed, and—dare we say it—flirtatious. There were giggles. There was shoulder-touching. And yes, at one point, he carried her beach bag. You don’t just carry a woman’s beach bag unless you’re either dating or deeply committed to becoming her future husband.
Naturally, this sent fans into a full-blown romance tailspin.
“Who is this man?!” screamed one tweet. “That is NOT her caddie!” another cried. TikTok detectives got to work immediately, enhancing sunglasses reflections and comparing wrist tattoos like they were working for CSI: Palm Trees.
So who is this handsome, mysterious beachside Romeo? Some speculate he’s a low-key pro surfer. Others say he’s just a fitness trainer with Olympic-grade abs. The leading theory? A “European tennis player with a weakness for golf and beautiful blondes.” The internet thinks it’s the same guy she was seen chatting with at the sports gala last month. Coincidence? Please. This is 2025—romance is tracked in Instagram likes and paparazzi angles.
Adding fuel to the fire, Nelly posted a cryptic beach photo the next day, captioned simply:
“Good vibes, great company 🏖️😉”
Cue meltdown.
The comment section quickly became an emotional battlefield:
-
“GIRL SPILL.”
-
“Hard launch or soft tease?”
-
“Blink twice if he’s The One.”
And while some fans were devastated—many still dreaming of being Nelly’s future golf cart partner—others were fully here for it. “She deserves love and a man who knows how to carry a beach bag,” one fan wrote. Another added, “If he doesn’t know how to read greens but knows how to make smoothies, that’s still a win.”
So far, Nelly has stayed mum on the identity of Mr. Smoothie, but sources say he’s been quietly popping up at her matches and may or may not be learning to golf himself. Look out, PGA.
