Around this time last year, Nelly Korda was preparing to defend her title in the individual event of the Aramco Team Series London. However, she was forced to withdraw due to a traumatic event, which also dealt a significant blow to the tournament.
Korda was bitten by a dog in a coffee shop. She announced the incident on social media at the time but did not share details of her recovery process with her fans.
This Thursday, she addressed that "omission" through an Instagram post.
The World No. 1 player shared a photo of her left leg, revealing the dog bites in detail. Looking at the image, it's clear that her withdrawal from the London event was more than justified.
Last year, Nelly Korda was forced to miss some time after suffering a dog bite injury.
Today, she posted a picture of the injury. 😳

It goes without saying the organizers of the Aramco Team Series London were eagerly awaiting Korda's appearance at the event. By this point in the 2024 season, the Bradenton, Florida native had already racked up six wins, including five straight, and one of them was a major championship.
Ireland's Leona Maguire ended up taking the individual title at the 2024 edition with an 8-under finish. On the team side, the win went to the squad led by France's Nastasia Nadaud.
The year before, Korda took the title at Centurion Club with a scorching 11-under, finishing four shots ahead of Charley Hull.
The 2025 edition of the tournament, now called the PIF London Championship, was pushed back on the calendar. It's set to return to Centurion Golf Club in August, just a week after the AIG Women's Open, the fifth major of the season.
It's still unclear whether Nelly Korda will be playing.

Nelly Korda of the United States watches her shot on the eighth tee during the second round of the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer 2025 at Seaview Bay Course on June 07, 2025 in Galloway, New Jersey. MoreLast year, the two-time major champ had to bounce back quickly from injuries, since the women's golf event at the Paris Olympics teed off just over a month later (August 7–10). Korda was tied for 7th after 54 holes but ended up finishing well outside the medal spots (T22).
Only two weeks after that, she played the AIG Women's Open at St. Andrews and nearly pulled off what would've been her third major title. But in the end, Hall of Famer Lydia Ko edged her out by two strokes.

Avalanche star halts Sidney Crosby trade rumors with 2 definitive words
There's no way the Pittsburgh Penguins will trade Sidney Crosby ... right? RIGHT???? How could they even though the team is heading toward a rebuild? He's an icon, an all-time great and has brought so much to the franchise that drafted him. But all-time greats have been traded or let go in free agency, so it wouldn't be unprecedented. Which brings us to some trade rumors that popped up during the 2025 NHL Draft. Crosby's ex-teammate Georges Laraque tweeted that there was "a good chance Crosby play somewhere else," followed by Kevin Weekes tweeting a photo of Denver. Hmm. But Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon shut that down real quick on Instagram with just two words: Here are those tweets from Laraque and Weekes: Sidney Crosby's agent responded to the trade rumors He called them "baseless rumors," and Rob Rossi had more reporting on the matter: Not really sure what's going on here, but doesn't seem like Crosby's getting dealt to Colorado anytime soon.

Brooks Koepka Smashes Tee Box at LIV Dallas, Withdraws with Illness?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Brooks Koepka just pulled a Rory McIlroy move, but in a way that might result in a penalty. During the 2nd round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont earlier this month, McIlroy smashed a USGA tee marker on the 17th tee after a poor drive. Though the damage was minimal, the USGA later confirmed he was fined an undisclosed amount for violating Rule 1.2a, which governs player conduct. Fast forward to today at LIV Golf Dallas, Brooks Koepka found himself in a similar situation. Only this time, it ended with a smashed tee marker, and a more shocking news - withdrawal due to illness? OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 13: Brooks Koepka of the United States looks on from the 16th green during the second round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 13, 2025 in... OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 13: Brooks Koepka of the United States looks on from the 16th green during the second round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 13, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. (Photo by) More Getty Images It occurred during the LIV Dallas first round. Koepka, already 6-over through eight holes, yanked his tee shot left on the par-4 9th. Frustrated, he slammed his driver into the turf and then took a full swing at the tee marker, sending it flying toward the gallery. 🚨😳⛳️ #NEW — Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 1st round of LIV Dallas due to illness. He was +7, smashing a tee box marker due to poor play. LIV communications reports that Brooks could return this weekend but the score would only count towards the team. @TrackingKoepka — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 27, 2025 The outburst came just moments before he bogeyed the hole, pushing his score to +7. He would go on to play the 10th and 13th, both bogeys, before declaring his withdrawal after the 14th hole. LIV Golf later confirmed the withdrawal was due to illness. "Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 1st round of LIV Dallas due to illness," the league's communications team posted. "Reserve Luis Carrera will replace him for the remainder of Rd. 1. Their combined score will count only for the team total". Lineup change for @SmashGC at #LIVGolf Dallas presented by Aramco. Brooks Koepka departs after 8 holes with illness. Reserve Luis Carrera to replace him for remainder of Rd. 1. Their combined score will count only for the team total. Koepka could return this weekend to… — LIV Golf Communications (@LIVGolfComms) June 27, 2025 Koepka is eligible to return for the weekend rounds, but any scores he posts will count solely toward Smash GC's team leaderboard. While LIV did not specify the nature of Koepka's illness, reports suggest he had been "feeling under the weather all week." The timing, however, raised eyebrows, especially given the visible frustration and the violent tee box moment just minutes before his exit. As of now, there's been no official word on whether Koepka will face disciplinary action for the outburst. The withdrawal also means Koepka risks his chance at a share of LIV Dallas's $25 million purse. It's another blow in what's been a disappointing season for him. Brooks Koepka's 2025 season Koepka missed the cut at both the Masters and PGA Championship, his first back-to-back missed cuts at majors. He showed signs of life with a T12 finish at the U.S. Open. "From the first weekend in April until about June, you didn't want to be around me," he admitted earlier this month. "It drove me nuts. It ate at me. I haven't been happy. It's been very irritating." Despite two top-10 finishes this season, including a solo second in Singapore, Koepka has struggled to find consistency. His short game has been particularly shaky, and his putting struggles at Augusta were well-documented. He's also been candid about his swing mechanics being off by "eight to nine inches" earlier this year, something he's worked to correct with longtime coach Pete Cowen. Whether Koepka returns to the course this weekend remains uncertain. But the Smash GC captain lived up to his team's name, just not in the way he intended.
