Horschel to have hip surgery, miss months

Billy Horschel will undergo right hip surgery next week and miss months of PGA Tour competition, he announced on Tuesday.

In a statement posted to X, Horschel offered a timeline that would force him to miss the three remaining major tournaments of 2025.

He said he decided to have the surgery, which will be performed in Colorado, after consultation with medical experts and his team.

"It's an unfortunate situation with so many great events left on the calendar but this is a preventative measure," he said.

"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."

Horschel is ranked No 24 in the world golf rankings and No 58 in the FedEx Cup standings.

This spring, he was part of the Atlanta Drive GC team that won the inaugural championship of the tech-driven TGL.
