Unveiling hidden struggles: The personal side of Billy Horschel

While the intense celebrations of Brooks Koepka‘s win at Oak Hill were underway, Horschel, who had headed home on Friday after missing the cut, was also rejoicing, but for a completely different reason. In a heartfelt tweet, the PGA Tour veteran celebrated a significant milestone in his wife, Brittany Horschel’s, life: seven years of sobriety! Behind this achievement lies a powerful story of resilience and unwavering support.

Together, the couple overcame Brittany’s personal struggles with the relentless disease and emerged stronger, now celebrating 7 years of their accomplishment! Billy wrote, “Millions of people have overcome this disease. And there are millions of ppl willing to help you overcome it & start a sober life. Just have to ask for help!” Their journey undoubtedly serves as an inspiration to others battling the addiction.

Brittany Horschel courageously revealed her battle with alcoholism in 2017, just days after her husband’s victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson tournament. Opening up about her journey to sobriety, she shared her experiences seeking treatment and the immense challenges she faced along the way.

Billy, too, reflected on the challenges he and his wife had faced back then. While he admitted not initially recognizing Brittany’s struggle, it wasn’t long before he witnessed her inability to control her alcohol consumption. The couple acknowledges the tough road they have traveled, with Billy expressing his support and admiration for his wife’s strength and determination.

Billy and Brittany’s story extends beyond their personal struggles. Having met during their junior golf years, their connection blossomed into a deep love.

Their marriage in 2010 was followed by the joy of raising three children, each bringing new blessings to their lives.

Despite their achievements on the golf course, the Horschels have remained honest about their off-course challenges. After Billy’s victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson Tournament, his emotional reaction hinted at a private struggle. Brittany, later taking to Twitter, revealed her own battle with alcoholism, shedding light on their shared journey towards healing and recovery. Amidst his personal achievements, Horschel’s professional endeavors also shine brightly.

While this year’s PGA Championship didn’t lead to the desired outcome for Billy Horschel, his unwavering determination and resilience shine brightly. Despite missing the cut, he found reason to celebrate this week and will certainly hope to celebrate more in the years that follow!
