Nelly Korda’s husband, Justin Rose, has broken his silence to reveal some jaw-dropping news: he’s retiring from professional golf! The 42-year-old golfer made the announcement in an emotional press conference, saying that it was time for him to step away from the game he loved and focus on his family.
Rose, a former world number one, has won 11 PGA Tour titles, including two majors, the 2013 U.S. Open and the 2016 Olympic gold medal. He is also a member of the International Golf Hall of Fame.
“I’m not sure what I’m going to do next, but I’m looking forward to exploring some new opportunities,” Rose said. “I’m also excited to watch Nelly continue to excel in her career. She’s an incredible golfer, and I know she has a lot of great years ahead of her.”
Korda, 24, is one of the most promising young golfers in the world. She has won six LPGA Tour titles, including the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
“I’m so proud of Justin for everything he’s accomplished in his career,” Korda said. “He’s an amazing husband and father, and I’m so grateful for his support. I’m excited to see what he does next.”
