The world’s No 1 women’s golfer, Nelly Korda, has withdrawn from next week’s Aramco Team Series event after revealing a freak injury. 

Korda said Friday morning she was bitten by a dog last weekend while competing at the Women’s PGA Championship in Washington. 

Korda missed the cut at the tournament, her second straight at a major event and third missed cut overall. 

‘I regret to announce that I must withdraw from next weeks Ladies European Tour tournament in London,’ Korda said on Instagram. 

‘On Saturday in Seattle, I was bitten by a dog and need time to receive treatment and recover fully.’

‘I apologize to the LET, the sponsors, and my fans for my absence,’ Korda continued. ‘Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to returning to the course soon.’ 

Korda was on a hot streak earlier this year, winning five straight events from the end of January through mid-April. 

After a seventh-place finish at the Cognizant Founders Cup, Korda was back to her winning ways at the Mizuho Americas Open. 

Since her mid-May win in New Jersey, Korda has played in three tournaments and missed the cut in each of them. Her opening round at the U.S. Women’s Open last month was a 10-over-par 80. 

Korda’s most recent round was a nine-over-par 81 at the Women’s PGA Championship.
