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.

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

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.

The Phoenician Scheme Movie Review: Overindulgence and overreliance on humour spoil a film with profound themes
The film touches upon profound themes, notable among them being Korda's quest for purpose and redemption. The Phoenician Scheme explores whether or not someone who has lived a life full of 'mischief' can fully redeem themselves. Anderson goes for a comedic and often absurd exploration of these themes. The trademark whimsicality dominates whatever little attempt Anderson makes at exploring the film's themes. Often, the characters converse as though they are in a state of electrocution, making it hard for the emotional and philosophical weight of the themes to truly land. Besides the humour, the rushed exposition also keeps you from understanding the true nature and mechanics of Korda's business. What is his upshot? Is it absolute power and/or something else? Wes Anderson's films tend to have operatic qualities and unfold in a whimsical world, and The Phoenician Scheme is no different. The film is rife with trademark Anderson touches: meticulous set designs, deadpan humour, and many charmingly eccentric characters. The dry humour and subtle emotional expression make the characters' motivations and stakes feel somewhat ambiguous. For example, Korda's occasional 'trips' to the afterlife and back give a glimpse into the moral framework within which he operates. The trips seem to hint at Korda's desire to explore a more ethical way of life. While there is the occasional humour to enjoy, it is difficult to connect with the characters' inner struggles and feel the full weight of the dramatic events.
