BREAKING NEWS: Fan favorite Billy Horschel has just confirmed his return to professional golf, set to defend his title at the BMW PGA Championship in England from September 11-14, 2025. Horschel announced his comeback on X, revealing he will be traveling to the Wentworth Club for the prestigious event.
After a challenging four months recovering from hip surgery, Horschel’s return is highly anticipated by fans and fellow golfers alike. He had to abruptly end his PGA Tour season last May due to this injury, which required surgical intervention. “I have decided to have right hip surgery early next week out in Colorado,” Horschel explained in a video back then. “It’s an unfortunate situation with so many great events left on the calendar, but this is a preventative measure.”
Now, less than five months later, he’s back and ready to compete. His name has officially appeared on the entry list for the BMW PGA Championship, signaling a strong recovery and determination to reclaim his title. Horschel captured the championship last year in dramatic fashion, finishing with a score of 20-under par, and clinching victory in a nail-biting playoff against Rory McIlroy and Thriston Lawrence.
Fans are eager to see if he can replicate that success following a season where he played only 12 events, securing two top-10 finishes. Horschel’s best result was a tie for fourth place at the Valspar Championship, just weeks before his surgery.
The upcoming BMW PGA Championship is critical, not only for Horschel’s personal journey but also for his standing in the golf community. His participation suggests he may also compete during the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall series.
Stay tuned as we monitor Horschel’s progress, and witness if he can once again rise to the top of the leaderboard. His return to the golf circuit is a story of resilience and passion, marking an inspiring chapter for both him and his fans.
