Nelly Korda Injury Update: Is Her Major Dreams Still Crushed Under the Dog Bite?
The uninvited guest that every golfer dreads: an injury. It’s a harsh reality that can strike at any moment, sparing no one, not even the greatest of players. The world’s No. 1, Nelly Korda, recently faced a similar ordeal. She never would’ve thought that simply sitting at a café, minding her own business, would cost her the chance to play in the next tournament, where she would’ve returned as a defending champion. The golfer went on her Instagram and talked about the tragedy in detail.
The 25-year-old could not attend the LET Aramco Team Series event at Centurion Club in Hemel Hempstead. She explained the reason she had to pull out of the tournament at the last minute. Per Korda’s Instagram story, while he was sitting in a café in Seattle, releasing her stress of the upcoming tournaments and spending her hours away from the greens, the unbelievable happened! A dog jumped on the golfer, and the results were not pretty. “I regret to announce that I must withdraw from next week’s Ladies European Tour tournament in London,” wrote Korda in her story.
Korda apologized to the fans, who were extremely sad to hear the news, and the golfer also promised to return as soon as she’s fully recovered. “I apologize to the LET, the sponsors, and my fans for my absence. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to returning to the course soon.” Now the question persists, will this dog bite hamper her game at the Evian Resort? or will she be able to bring back her A-game like she did at the Chevron Championship? Well, it’s most probably the latter!
