The PGA Tour is a platform for countless golfers to come together and showcase their skill set. In most cases, it is the final step for a golfer. Of course, sometimes, players can opt for a small break before returning to the course. The hiatus can be brought upon due to injury, or maybe a choice the golfer makes for themselves.

Around two and a half years ago, Morgan Hoffmann left for Costa Rica, leaving behind the world of golf for some time. 

However, as the 2022 season continues, Hoffman’s return is confirmed. The 32-year-old PGA Tour golfer will be back at Harbour Town, hopefully starting a new journey on tour. 

Morgan Hoffmann is all set for his PGA Tour return

In a recent press conference, Hoffmann spoke of his return in detail, while highlighting his injury, and approach to play. The overall conclusion, however, was his delight over being back. “It’s amazing to be back,” Hoffmann said.

Despite the constant challenges he faced, Hoffmann is determined to make an emphatic comeback. Hoffmann even mentioned his stint in rehab, shedding light on how tough it has been.

Earlier, Hoffmann has also spoken about not coming back to the course – which was a genuine possibility in and of itself. “I’ve toyed with not going back,” Hoffmann said. However, his decision to come back and compete was probably bigger than just playing golf.

He was diagnosed with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, which is a muscle disorder. It deals with muscle degeneration, and Hoffmann was diagnosed in 2016. He tried to look for the cause as well, only to accept that his condition was incurable, and he moved out to Costa Rica. This was his way of healing himself, completely shifting his focus to his own treatment and healing.

A look at Hoffmann’s golf career

A former Oklahoma State star, Hoffmann was at his peak in 2009 – which is when he was the World No. 1 amateur briefly. His return to RBC Heritage will be possible due to the PGA Tour’s extended medical extension. He has earned a little over $6 million during his career, also finishing second during the Honda Classic in 2017.
