On Wednesday, June 24th, PGA Tour golfer Will Zalatoris announced that he will be missing the remainder of the 2020-2021 season after undergoing back surgery. The 24-year-old had been experiencing pain in his lower back for several weeks and decided to seek medical attention.
Zalatoris has had an impressive season so far, having made the cut in all but one of the tournaments he has played in. He also finished in the top 10 in three of those tournaments, including a runner-up finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The surgery was successful and Zalatoris is expected to make a full recovery. However, it will take some time to heal and he will not be able to compete for the remainder of the season.
This is a disappointing setback for Zalatoris, who was looking forward to competing for the remainder of the season. He is currently ranked 28th in the world and was hoping to improve his ranking with a strong finish to the season.
Zalatoris will now have to focus on his recovery and getting back to full strength. He will likely miss out on some important tournaments, such as the U.S. Open and The Masters, but he is determined to come back stronger than ever.
The PGA Tour wishes Zalatoris a speedy recovery and looks forward to seeing him back on the course next season. In the meantime, fans can follow his progress on social media and wish him well as he recovers from his surgery.
