American golfer Nelly Korda has announced her withdrawal from an upcoming tournament on Friday due to a dog bite incident that occurred in Seattle. Korda expressed her regret on her Instagram story, stating that she needs time to receive treatment and fully recover from the incident. As a result, she will not be participating in the Ladies European Tour tournament in London scheduled from June 28-30.
Despite starting the season strongly with a remarkable achievement of winning five consecutive LPGA Tour titles, Korda has faced a series of setbacks in recent tournaments. Her performance took a downturn, leading to her failure to make the cut in her last three competitions. Notably, at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Korda shot a career-worst 81 in the second round, resulting in her missing the cut.
