DATING CANTLAY
The pair have remained coy about their romance, so it’s not known how long they have dated.
However, they were first seen together at the Memorial Tournament at Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village earlier this year.
Cantlay, again, won that tournament with a beaming Nikki by his side.
Seemingly, she’s his good luck charm going into tournaments.
The two got engaged in September 2022 the same month Cantlay defended his BMW Championship at Wilmington Country Club.
FAMILY LIFE
Nikki’s family are high-achievers.
Her brothers Doug and Joseph are joint chief executives of their father Jerry’s water control valve company.

They were inspired to set up shop in 2016 after their grandad’s home being flooded due to a leaking toilet.

You can bet, though, Nikki is doing her family proud by branching out on her own.

How To
Five Simple Steps to Lower Your Golf Scores
- Start with the right equipment. Good clubs and balls will be your best investment. You can learn how to play golf by taking lessons. If you don’t know anyone who plays, then ask around at the local driving range. Some instructors might give you a free lesson because they love seeing new faces.
- Practice makes perfect. This goes without saying, but if you really want to improve your game, you’ll need to practice. No matter what level you play at, practicing is important. You should also keep track of how you progress once you start practicing. Take down all of your activities so that you can track where you are succeeding and where you still need improvement.
- Play more. At first, you might feel that you spend too much on your golf gear. This will make it difficult to get out there enough. Once you get into the swing of things, you will find that you actually enjoy playing. You can increase your play frequency. Play three times per week or every other day. You should aim to play at least one round of 18 holes per week and two rounds (9 holes) each week.
- Remember to eat healthy. Many people think eating well after lunch is better than breakfast. This isn’t healthy. Instead, try to eat something before you leave the house. Ideal is to have a small snack that contains protein, carbohydrates, as well as fat. When you arrive at the course you can have a light dinner of lean protein and vegetables.
- Get plenty of water. Drinking plenty of fluids can help prevent dehydration which can cause headaches and muscle aches. Drinking water is important for optimal performance.
