Nelly Korda, the world-renowned professional golfer, recently revealed a surprising and painful setback in her personal life: a dog bite injury. The 25-year-old, who is known for her resilience both on and off the course, shared details about the incident, opening up to fans and the media.
While the exact circumstances of the bite remain somewhat private, Korda disclosed that the injury occurred on her hand, specifically on her thumb. She described the pain as intense, noting that it temporarily affected her ability to perform everyday tasks, let alone swing a golf club.
The incident happened while Korda was spending time with her dog, a beloved companion she frequently posts about on social media. “I didn’t expect it,” she said, admitting that the bite came as a complete surprise. “It’s just one of those things that happens, but I’m doing fine now.”
Despite the setback, Korda emphasized her focus on recovery. She’s been working closely with her medical team to ensure a quick healing process, allowing her to get back to her rigorous training and competition schedule. “It’s been tough, but I’m getting stronger every day,” she added.
Fans of Korda have flooded her social media with messages of support, wishing her a speedy recovery. This latest challenge comes after a period of dominance on the LPGA Tour, where Korda has been one of the top players in the world.
Though the dog bite has temporarily disrupted her routine, Korda’s determination and positive attitude remain unshaken. With her upcoming season on the horizon, it seems nothing—whether it’s a dog bite or tough competition—can hold her back for long.
As Nelly continues to heal, fans are eager to see her back on the greens, stronger and more determined than ever.
