How did they meet?
Cantlay and Guidish kept their relationship fairly coy until 2021, so little is known about how and when they met. The couple were first spotted together at the Memorial Tournament, the tournament where Cantlay defeated Collin Morikawa in a playoff.
Cantlay shared the victory with Nikki on the 18th green at Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village, and she has continued to be seen with him at tournaments ever since. This included when he won the BMW Championship and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
In September 2022, Cantlay and Guidish took their relationship to the next level when the pair confirmed they were engaged to be married. Cantlay popped the question in Napa, California, presenting Guidish with a round diamond ring.
“My whole heart,” Guidish said in the post, which featured photos of the happy couple celebrating with several friends, including Xander Schauffele and his wife Maya.
LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka and his wife Jena Sims also congratulated the couple in the comments.
