Rehabbing from back surgery
Back
February 18, 2020
Hurley underwent microdiscectomy surgery Nov. 4 to address a herniated disc in his back and has yet to return to competition, Bill Wagner of the Capital Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Hurley made eight cuts during his seventh year on the PGA Tour in 2019, but he battled lingering discomfort for much of the summer before heading in for surgery. The 37-year-old was cleared to resume physical therapy in late November and has gradually increased his intensity in workouts over the months that followed, but he admits that he's still a long way from swinging a club again. Hurley is tentatively targeting a return to competitive golf in January 2021.
