Justin Thomas Describes Surgery Recovery Affecting His PGA Tour Season
Two-time major champion Justin Thomas revealed he will miss the start of the 2026 PGA Tour season due to recovery from microdiscectomy surgery. The procedure, which addresses a herniated disc, has left Thomas unable to perform any physical activities during his rehabilitation.
Impact on Career and Recovery Details
Thomas explained that the surgery and healing process have greatly limited his mobility and daily functioning:
"The recovery has been tough. I can't do anything right now, which is frustrating. But I have to focus on getting better and coming back strong."
His absence will affect his schedule early next year, as he prioritizes full recovery to avoid further complications.
Medical Perspective on Microdiscectomy
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove herniated disc material pressing on a nerve root or the spinal cord. Recovery typically requires rest and physical therapy over several weeks to months.
This update shows how carefully Thomas is managing his health to ensure a successful return to professional golf after a challenging surgery and recovery period.
