Billy Horschel is set to miss the rest of the men’s major season and has suffered a setback in his push for a possible Ryder Cup debut after confirming he will undergo hip surgery.
The former FedExCup champion last competed at the RBC Heritage in April, with Horschel withdrawing from the Zurich Classic of New Orleans due to a “lower-body injury” and skipping the Truist Championship – a Signature Event on the PGA Tour where he was exempt.
Horschel has confirmed he will undergo right hip surgery in Colorado, a procedure he described as a “preventative measure”, with the eight-time PGA Tour winner targeting a return in ‘late summer or early fall’.
It means Horschel is unlike to feature in the remaining three majors – the PGA Championship from May 15-18, the US Open from June 12-15 and The Open from July 17-20, all live on Sky Sports, with the timeline also indicating he may be unable to return to the PGA Tour this season.

In a statement released on his social media account, Horschel said: “Health update. After consulting with doctors and my team, I have decided to have right hip surgery early next week out in Colorado.
“It’s an unfortunate situation with so many great events left on the calendar but this is a preventative measure. I’m already itching to start rehab, get back to practicing and I look forward to returning to the course sometime around late summer/early fall.
“I would like to thank my family, friends, sponsors and partners for their continued support of me. I will share positive news on my rehab as I progress and I look forward to seeing everyone at the course again soon!”
The 38-year-old sits 58th – as of May 5- in the FedExCup standings with four top-25 finishes in 12 starts. His best performance of 2025 so far came with a tied-fourth at the Valspar Championship in late March, before he missed the cut at The Masters.
Horschel hopes to be fit to defend his BMW PGA Championship title, held at Wentworth from September 11-14, a year on from defeating Rory McIlroy and Thriston Lawrence in a play-off to win the DP World Tour’s flagship event for the second time.
It all came down to the second play-off hole between Rory McIlroy and Billy Horschel to decide who would claim the 2024 BMW PGA Championship
The Ryder Cup takes place two weeks later at Bethpage Black, where Team USA look to regain the trophy after their 2023 defeat to Europe in Rome, with Horschel starting the year with hopes of featuring for Keegan Bradley’s side in New York.
Horschel – who played on the winning Presidents Cup team in 2022 – is currently 16th on the Ryder Cup points standings. The top six players from the points list following the BMW Championship on August 17 make the team, with six captain’s picks completing the line-up.
“This Ryder Cup is going to be different,” Horschel told the Sky Sports Golf podcast earlier this year. “This is going to be unlike anything that any player has ever seen, or the Ryder Cup’s ever seen – it’s going to be very boisterous.
Billy Horschel discusses on the Sky Sports Golf Podcast how this year’s Ryder Cup is going to be different to any other
“It’s going to be like the 2002 US Open at Bethpage Black, when it first went there. The chants, the way they got on Sergio [Garcia] – the crowd’s going to be that way a little bit.
“I’m not saying it’s right and I hope it’s a respectful crowd – but they’re going to be on Europe early on! If the US side doesn’t play well, they’re going to be on the US team as well for playing bad golf. It’s going to go both ways. I think it’s going to be one of the most electric Ryder Cups that we’ve ever seen.”

Time for Celtics to sound the alarm, though it’s never over in Boston-New York Border War
BOSTON — To the mob out there that believes Celtics-Knicks has generally been relegated to kitchen patrol in the century-old Boston-New York Border War, we give you Wednesday night, TD Garden, Game 2, Eastern Conference semifinals.In emerging with a 91-90 victory over the Celtics to take a two-zip lead in this series, the Knicks have muscled their way to the front lines of the Border War. This makes it two games in a row the Knicks have roared back from a 20-point deficit to smother the Celtics, which means they are two victories away from registering one of the biggest upsets in recent NBA history.AdvertisementSo much for the theory that the Celtics were merely rusty in Game 1, or that the outcome would surely awaken some sort of beast that lurks inside the defending NBA champions.

Konec velké lásky. Světová jednička potvrdila rozchod s ruskou hvězdou
Fanoušci o jejich vztahu dlouho jen spekulovali, ale známost prosákla na veřejnost během loňského French Open. Kalinská tehdy podporovala italskou hvězdu přímo ze Sinnerova boxu. „Víte, že o svém soukromí opravdu nerad mluvím. Ale ano, jsme s Annou, tvoříme pár, víc vám však neřeknu,“ potvrdil vztah posléze Ital.Tomu je však po necelém roce konec. Sinner, jenž se na právě probíhajícím Masters v Římě vrací na kurty po odpykaní tříměsíční stopky za doping, promluvil o rozchodu s osmadvacátou tenistkou světa na tiskové konferenci před startem prestižního podniku. „Byl jsem překvapený, když jsem viděl nějaké fotky. Ale ne, nejsem ve vztahu, takže kdokoliv se ptá, je to tak. Všechno je v pohodě.“Italská média však spekulují o novém vztahu světové jedničky s modelkou Larou Leitoovou.Třiadvacetiletý Sinner se i přes tříměsíční distanc udržel na postu světové jedničky.

Celtics collapse again in Game 2 against the Knicks, but remain calm: ‘We can tie this thing back up’

Padres’ Dylan Cease, after no-hit bid and forearm scare, optimistic about ‘freak cramp’
NEW YORK — San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease looked to be on the verge of something special Wednesday night. It was the bottom of the seventh at Yankee Stadium, Aaron Judge had struck out three times, and Cease, the author of the 324th no-hitter in major-league history, was bidding to throw the 327th. Then, in an instant, the evening appeared to turn into something potentially ruinous.AdvertisementTwo batters and eight pitches after a Cody Bellinger home run reduced Cease’s outing from magical to merely masterful, the Padres starter threw a 1-2 slider that Jasson Domínguez fouled off. Cease hopped at the end of his delivery. He took a couple of steps forward as his right hand curled into a fist. He re-extended his fingers, wiped them against his right quad and began to flex his hand. Noticing all this, Martín […]
Even as Dodgers navigate injuries and manage pitcher usage, the wins keep coming
MIAMI — The Dodgers and Marlins are more similar than one might think.Sure, the payroll discrepancy between the defending World Series champs and the only MLB franchise to never capture a division title is a bone-chilling $406 million. And yes, the Dodgers draw more fans in an evening than the lowly Marlins do in a weekend. Los Angeles has the most wins in MLB since 2010; Miami has the fewest. Dodger Stadium has hosted 109 playoff games, loanDepot Park has hosted zero. One team is eying October, the other is eying 2028. The list, it goes on and on.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat gap was readily apparent this week in South Florida, with the Dodgers cruising to a series win over the overmatched Marlins. Shohei Ohtani’s loanDepot Park mastery continued with a four extra-base hit showing. On the surface, it was monster vs. minnow, […]
