Nelly Korda Posts Gruesome Images of Dog Bites That Cost the LPGA Legend
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. 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. 😳 (via @nellykorda // IG) — (@GOLF_com) June 26, 2025 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. More Golf: Min Woo Lee Looks for Sister's Footsteps, Goes Nuclear at Rocket Classic

LPGA: Megan Khang Literally Stops Traffic with Unreal Shot By the Road
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. The LPGA Tour shifted from the champagne-soaked celebration of Minjee Lee's KPMG Women's PGA Championship win to the breezy showdown at the Dow Championship this week. And while the format may have shifted, the drama certainly didn't. On Thursday, longtime friends Megan Khang and Lexi Thompson, competing as "Team Biggie Smalls," excited fans. But it wasn't just their 3-under start, but a shot by the roadside that turned heads. Megan Khang stops traffic for her golf shot It was the shot on the 16th hole at Midland Country Club when Khang found herself out of position and just feet from a busy street. The ball was inbounds, but a metal post bearing "No Parking" and "Bike Lane" signs obstructed her follow-through. Khang called in a rules official, who clarified that while the signs didn't affect her line of play, she could take relief due to interference with her swing. But Khang took her chances!

(Image Collage) Getty Images As cars moved by, her caddie, David Taylor, stepped into the road, arms raised like a school crossing guard, to halt traffic and create a safe window for the shot. Khang pulled a fairway wood and launched a low screamer through the trees. The ball skipped onto the green and rolled just past the back edge. "That'll stop traffic," said Golf Channel's Grant Boone during the live broadcast. While NBC Sports's Morgan Pressel declared it "exceptional." The duo saved par and went on to birdie the next two holes, finishing their round at 67. Later that evening, Khang shared a reel of the moment on her Instagram story. Following that was another repost from LPGA host Hope Barnett. Barnett had cheekily captioned it, "What people mean when they say caddies have multiple jobs. Add controlling traffic to the resume LOL." Khang added her own praise, typing, "This was so good," acknowledging caddie David Taylor's exceptional role. Taylor has been on Khang's bag for several seasons and has long been praised for his calm demeanour and quick thinking. But this was hands down, pure class!
