Nelly Korda shares gruesome photo from last year's dog bite incident in Seattle
Nelly Korda posted a flashback photo on social media from a day that's impossible forget. While there were many highs in 2024, Korda's time in Seattle was an extraordinary low. One day after a shocking second-round 81 left Korda in tears at the KPMG Women's PGA, she was bit by a dog the next day while at a coffee shop. The incident forced the world No. 1 to withdraw from the Ladies European Tour's Aramco Team Series event at the Centurion Club in London, a tournament she'd won the year prior by four strokes. Korda didn't share any photos at the time, other than to say that she was bitten on her thigh. Interestingly, Korda was one of three LPGA players who suffered dog bites in 2024. European Solheim Cup captain Anna Nordqvist was bitten while walking on a beach in Thailand early last year. American Alison Lee, the hottest player on tour at the end of the 2023 season, was bit by her boyfriend's rescue dog, a black Pomeranian aptly named Bear, at the end of January. The ordeal landed Lee in the hospital where she ultimately required surgery to get rid of the infection. The injury forced Lee to withdraw from the Aramco Saudi Ladies International, where she'd just won in the fall, as well as the Honda LPGA Thailand.

Hong Kong's Ginnie Ding ‘super excited' to be part of women's LIV-like golf series
Women's golf has moved another step closer to its own version of LIV, with the revamped Aramco Team Series getting a new name, more money and a global schedule that takes in the UK, United States and China. Advertisement Gone are the amateurs, with teams of professionals also competing for an individual prize over three rounds. This week, that involves the likes of defending team champion Danielle Kang, last year's individual winner Kim Hyo-joo, Bronte Law and Hong Kong's Ginnie Ding battling it out at the Aramco Korea Championship. If that format sounds familiar, the only things really missing at New Korea Country Club in Seoul are team names. While the US$2 million in prize money is significantly less than in LIV Golf, it is still among the highest in the women's game. Announcing the move on Thursday, Golf Saudi and the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which backs LIV Golf and the International Series on the men's Asian Tour, said the five tournaments on the Ladies European Tour would now form the PIF Global Series. Korea is the second stop of the year, with the PIF Saudi Ladies International in February having marked the start of a series that will also take in the PIF Championship at the Centurion Club outside London, the Aramco Houston Championship and the Aramco Shenzhen Championship at Mission Hills.

Two-time Solheim Cup player Alison Lee announces birth of her first child, a son
Two-time Solheim Cup player Alison Lee announces birth of her first child, a son Two-time Solheim Cup player Alison Lee shared on Instagram that she and boyfriend Trey Kidd welcomed their first child, a son, born April 25. The 30-year-old Lee, a two-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, helped the U.S. defeat Europe in last year's Solheim Cup. Lee went viral at the event on Saturday after she holed a wedge shot and her caddie took off his shirt to settle a bet. Currently No. 47 in the world, Lee made her last start in November at the Aramco Team Series event in Saudi Arabia. The LPGA's maternity policy gives moms two years from the date of the baby's birth to return to playing. Lee told Golfweek last year she and Kidd were introduced by a mutual friend near the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Kidd, a former college player at Colorado State who now works in finance, played off a plus-3 handicap at the time. If Lee plays from the back tees, she doesn't give him any strokes.
