Reigning Olympic champion and world number one golfer Nelly Korda announced her withdrawal from next week’s Ladies European Tour tournament in England due to a recent dog bite.
Korda shared the news on her social media, stating that she was attacked by a dog last week in Seattle, resulting in the need for treatment and time for full recovery. She expressed her regret for having to withdraw from the Aramco Team Series event at Centurion Club in Hemel Hempstead, apologizing to the LET, sponsors, and her fans for her absence.
Korda was in Washington last week for the Women’s PGA Championship, where she unfortunately missed the cut for the third consecutive time. The incident occurred on the day after she missed the cut.
While details regarding the severity of her injuries and the specific incident have not been released, Korda’s withdrawal highlights the unexpected nature of such events and the impact they can have on athletic performance.
Korda’s return to the course remains uncertain, with the next major tournament, the Evian Championship in France, scheduled for July 11-14. Her fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on her recovery and hoping for a swift return to competition.
