English golf star Charley Hull had to withdraw from the Aramco Team Series London at Centurion Club early on the first day of the tournament due to a shoulder injury. Hull played only six holes before making the difficult decision to pull out on medical grounds.
Shoulder Injury Forces Charley Hull To Withdraw
The decision came after Hull consulted with a physiotherapist following ongoing pain in her right shoulder, an injury she later revealed was the result of a “nasty fall” the previous Sunday. She took to social media to express her regret and disappointment: “Today I had to withdraw from [the Aramco Team Series London] following medical advice, due to ongoing pain in my right shoulder following a nasty fall on Sunday night. I’m so disappointed as I always love playing in this series, particularly in front of a home crowd.”
Hull also apologized to her fans, teammates, and the event organizers, expressing her sorrow for having to leave the competition prematurely. “Sorry to the fans who came out to watch, my playing partners for leaving you after 6 holes, and to all those behind the scenes who work tirelessly to make these events run so well,” she added.
In the tournament, Hull was playing alongside Annabel Dimmock and Christine Wolf. Hull, who was the squad’s captain, had selected her close friend and compatriot Dimmock with the final pick before the tournament, while Austrian golfer Wolf and an amateur player was randomly assigned to complete the team.
There is a rather old joke in editorial circles about trainee training, which is the equivalent of an apprenticeship in the trades – yes, even in journalism you should learn and master the craft from the ground up. In any case, the gag goes like this: “Dog bites man” is not newsworthy; “Man bites dog”, THAT is newsworthy. Exceptions prove the rule, of course. Which brings us to Nelly Korda (25), who has had some eventful times on and off the fairways. Cue thrombosis in her arm, six victories, but recently also three missed cuts in a row and rounds in the 80s at the US Women’s Open and the Women’s PGA Championship, the worst scores of her career to date. Now the world number one has cancelled her participation in the Aramco Team Series event on the Ladies European Tour (LET) this week at the Centurion Club in England (3 to 5 July), where the LIV League celebrated its premiere in 2022. Korda would have been the defending champion after last year’s victory over Lokamatador Charley Hull, but: “I was bitten by a dog in Seattle on Saturday.” That is indeed a news story.
Did a fan jinx the dog bite?
The circumstances of the mishap are not known, neither the location or extent of the injury nor the breed of the dog. Although one prankster has already claimed that Korda’s run of bad luck must have something to do with the puppy he adopted six weeks ago and named Nelly:
This cute little puppy is the reason for Nelly Korda’s downfall.

“I need time to get treatment and fully recover,” Korda wrote on Instagram. “I apologise to the LET, the sponsors and my fans for my absence. Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to returning to the course soon.” After all, the Amundi Evian Championship (11 to 14 July), the fourth major of the season, is coming up next week.

The golf qualification for the Olympics 2024 is complete. After the men’s qualification phase ended last Monday, the women’s participants have now also been decided. While Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick represent the men, Charley Hull and Georgia Hall will compete in the women’s event. A look at the two female participants from the UK.
Olympics 2024: Charley Hull and Georgia Hall form UK’s Olympic Duo
Charley Hull currently travels to Paris in eighth place in the world rankings (Rolex Rankings). After two second places on the Ladies European Tour and consistently good performances, the Englishwoman is currently in good form and can therefore hope for a top ranking at the Olympics 2024. Although the 28-year-old’s last victory was almost two years ago, four top-ten finishes this calendar year and a recent good shared 16th place at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship confirm Hull’s form.
Hull is accompanied by Georgia Hall, who is also 28 years old. She is currently ranked 36th in the world and is currently struggling a little with her form. The Englishwoman has yet to secure a top ten finish this year and her best results were T12 at the Meijer LPGA Classic two weeks ago and the Aramco Ladies International. Georgia Hall celebrated the biggest success of her career in 2018 with a major victory at the Ricoh Women’s British Open.
Olympics 2024: Qualification Process and Criteria
The Olympic Golf Ranking (OGR) determines qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympics, scheduled from August 1-10 at Le Golf National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. The top 15 golfers in the OGR automatically qualify, with a maximum of four players per National Olympic Committee (NOC). Beyond the top 15, the highest-ranked players are selected until the 60-player field is complete, ensuring no more than two players per NOC unless they are within the top 15.
Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick have secured their tickets for Paris in the men’s competition.
The golf qualification for the Olympics 2024 is complete. After the men’s qualification phase ended last Monday, the women’s participants have now also been decided. With Elly Ewing missing the Qualification for the first time since golf’s return to the Olympics in 2016, no country will send four players. A look at the female participants from the USA.
Olympics 2024: Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang form Olympic Trio
The bitter failure of Ally Ewing means that the US women’s golf team will be represented three times at the Olympics 2024. The trio consists of world number one Nelly Korda, her direct rival Lilia Vu and ninth-placed Rose Zhang. Korda in particular has dominated this year on the LPGA Tour and has already won six of her ten tournaments. She has won five of them in a row. But Lilia Vu has nothing to hide either: She recently won the Meijer LPGA Classic and followed it up with a shared second place at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Rose Zhang also secured a win on the LPGA Tour this year at the Cognizant Founders Cup.
The rankings in the world rankings alone make it clear that the USA will also be the big favorites at the Olympics 2024. The fact that only three women’s golfers are competing this year will not change this. What’s more, Nelly Korda has already won the Olympics 2020 in Tokyo and will travel to Paris full of confidence.
Ally Ewing narrowly misses out on the Olympics 2024 in Paris
Qualification for the Olympics 2024 was particularly bitter for Ally Ewing. The 31-year-old had to finish the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in fifth place or better to qualify for the competition in Paris later in the summer. Near the end, Ewing was in a tie for second place and qualified, but over the next 90 minutes Lilia Vu, Jin Young Ko and Miyu Yamashita each birdied the 18th to get to four under, pushing Ewing into a tie for fifth place. The American thus narrowly missed out on 15th place in the world rankings, which would have qualified her for the Summer Games.

In an unusual turn of events, Nasa Hataoka was disqualified after the first round of the ShopRite LPGA Classic due to a timing issue with locating her lost ball, underscoring the stringent nature of the Rules of Golf. Hataoka, a prominent figure on the LPGA Tour, started her first round on the back nine and was performing admirably. However, on her final hole, the ninth, she hit her second shot into the long fescue surrounding the green. Despite her efforts, and those of her caddie, to locate the ball, it was eventually found outside the three-minute search limit imposed by Rule 18.2a.
LPGA Tour has released a statement regarding the disqualification of Nasa Hataoka
In an official statement, the LPGA Tour clarified: “During the first round of the LPGA Shoprite Classic, Nasa Hataoka played her second shot on No. 9 into the long fescue surrounding the green, her last hole of the day. After reviewing video footage provided to the LPGA following the round, it was determined that the search for Nasa’s ball lasted longer than the three minutes allowed under Rule 18.2a. After three minutes of search, the ball is considered lost, and the player must proceed under stroke and distance (Rule 18.2b).”
Statement on Nasa Hataoka’s disqualification from the ShopRite LPGA Classic:

Hataoka’s situation became even more complicated when she played from the wrong place after the ball was found. The rules specify that if a player does not play from the correct spot, they are in breach of Rule 14.7. Since Hataoka played from a position that could potentially offer a significant advantage compared to where she should have played from, this was considered a serious breach, resulting in disqualification as it was not corrected in time.
Had her score stood, Hataoka would have signed for a six-under-par round of 65, placing her four strokes behind the leader, Arpichaya Yubol, who nearly broke the 60-barrier with an impressive 10-under round of 61.
