Jim Furyk to have wrist surgery, out up to 3 months
Jim Furyk will be sidelined for an addition three months after choosing to have surgery to repair an ailing left wrist.
Furyk first injured the wrist in September during the week of the Deutsche Bank Championship. He tried to play in the BMW Championship, the next stage of the FedEx Cup playoffs, but withdrew after six holes. He withdrew from the Tour Championship and Presidents Cup, unable to shake the pain.
Coming into 2016, he had every intention of playing on the PGA Tour's West Coast Swing, starting at Pebble Beach. However, his injury hasn't healed enough to let him play, so he is going under the knife to make sure it gets fixed.
"While I am disappointed that the wrist has not yet healed sufficiently for me to return to play, I am confident that the surgery at this point is the best course of action, and will get me back in the shortest possible time," Furyk said in a statement from the Legacy Agency. "This has been frustrating for me to this point, but I am focusing on an aggressive rehabilitation program and having a strong year once I am sufficiently healed."
The three-month recovery time will force Furyk out of the Masters for the first time since 2004, which he also missed with a left wrist injury.
