PGA Tour Makes Concerning Announcement This Week
The PGA Tour has a championship coming up on May 15–18 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. A star-studded lineup will gather for the 107th PGA Championship, the year's second major, all aiming to lift the Wanamaker Trophy. But amid this, they announced some concerning news.
They made a post on X(formerly Twitter) on Tuesday that eight-time PGA Tour winner Billy Horschel will undergo right hip surgery early next week, calling it a preventative measure to address a lingering issue.

"Health update. After consulting with doctors and my team, I have decided to have right hip surgery early next week out in Colorado." The post read. "It's an unfortunate situation with so many great events left on the calendar but this is a preventative measure. I'm already itching to start rehab, get back to practicing and I look forward to returning to the course sometime around late summer/early fall."
"I would like to thank my family, friends, sponsors and partners for their continued support of me. I will share positive news on my rehab as I progress and I look forward to seeing everyone at the course again soon!" He added.
Horschel, who sits No. 24 in the Official World Golf Rankings, made 12 starts this season with two top-10 finishes before withdrawing from the Zurich Classic due to the hip issue. He currently ranks No. 16 in U.S. Ryder Cup points, sitting just outside the top six automatic qualifying spots for the biennial competition in September.
