Nelly Korda took to her Instagram page to announce that she will not be participating in the upcoming Ladies European Tour event due to a dog bite injury she sustained. This marked Korda’s third consecutive missed cut following her earlier successes in her LPGA starts in 2024. Despite her absence, she conveyed her apologies to the LET, sponsors, and fans for not being able to compete and expressed gratitude for their understanding.
Korda’s injury is not an isolated incident in the world of women’s golf, as Alison Lee also suffered a dog-bite injury earlier in the season. Lee, who was bitten by her boyfriend’s Pomeranian, had to undergo hospital treatment and missed playing time as a result. The LPGA will be taking a break next week but will resume play with the Amundi Evian Championship in France from July 11-14, which is the fourth major of the season.
Having won the Chevron Championship as the first major of the season, Korda’s recent missed cuts in the U.S. Women’s Open and the Women’s PGA have been setbacks in her otherwise impressive career. Despite these challenges, Korda’s determination and resilience are sure to see her back on the course competing at her best in the near future.
