Morgan Hoffmann’s journey is an incredible story. He can perhaps add yet another chapter to it this week. Hoffmann, who was diagnosed with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy in 2017, has slowly but surely started playing golf again in an effort to return to the PGA Tour. The 34-year-old has played in 167 Tour events in his career and earned a little more than $6 million. Doctors told him he didn’t have much of a chance to live. Now, he’s in contention on the Korn Ferry Tour heading to the weekend in his first full season back. Hoffmann had nine birdies in a 7-under 64 on Friday at the Leco ..read more

However, for those who have done it, it is a lifetime achievement and can prove to be the start of an incredible career. Lydia Ko is the last amateur to win an LPGA event, and she has two titles to her name on tour as an amateur. Before her, it was 43 years prior that an amateur won on the LPGA, and it’s a familiar name that Ko knocked off the top of the mountain. Here’s a look at the five amateurs – that’s it, just fi ..read more

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – So Yeon Ryu spends a lot of time with her therapist these days talking about her passions in life. She took up golf at age 8 and played professionally for 16 years. At age 33, Ryu can’t imagine her life without golf. But when she thinks about when she’s happiest, it’s in the moments immediately after she wakes up – from her own bed – and goes to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. It’s not the same in a hotel room. Ryu didn’t realize how much she missed living in South Korea until a global pandemic forced her to move back home for nine months and she thought: This ..read more
