Justin Thomas has announced he will be absent from several tournaments at the start of 2026 due to back surgery. The golfer, who has won two major titles, has been sidelined since Team USA's loss to Europe in the Ryder Cup in September. He underwent surgery after enduring persistent hip pain for months, with an MRI revealing a disc issue.

The 32-year-old ended a nearly three-year title drought by winning the RBC Heritage in April. Following his successful microdiscectomy, Thomas was discharged from the hospital. He shared updates on social media about his condition and future plans.

Thomas mentioned that his upcoming weeks will focus on rest before starting rehabilitation. "I have a great team behind me who I fully trust to get me back to a better place than I was before," he stated online. He emphasized not rushing his return to ensure complete healing.

He clarified he is not setting any tournament dates or timelines for his comeback. While acknowledging he will miss early 2026 events, Thomas stressed the importance of patience in recovery to prevent future issues with his disc.

His commitment to a careful recovery process highlights his dedication to returning stronger. Fans are hopeful for his swift recovery and eagerly await his return to competitive golf.
