Back in May, Billy Horschel had to announce that he would be taking a step back for the rest of the year.\u00a0 Horschel underwent preventative surgery<\/a> on his hip in early May after the RBC Heritage<\/a>.\u00a0 He has spent the rest of his time since then focusing on rest, recovery, and rehab.\u00a0 Now, Billy Horschel is happy to announce that he will be playing as soon as next month.\u00a0 Horschel won\u2019t be sidelined for the rest of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy Horschel\u2019s Announcement<\/span><\/h2>\n

On his personal Instagram, Billy Horschel dropped the exciting news<\/a> along with a few caveats that come with it.\u00a0 The biggest news is that Horschel will be playing at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth to defend his title.\u00a0 The event is on September 11-14, so he will have some extra time to prepare.\u00a0 The former champion is looking forward to getting out of the house and back onto the field after a lengthy recovery time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunate News For Horschel<\/span><\/h2>\n

With Billy Horschel being out for four months, it means that he missed most of the season.\u00a0 He is behind on points for a few cups that happen at the end of the year.\u00a0 Number one is the FedEx Cup, because of his surgery.\u00a0 He is not only behind on points, but his recovery time meant that he missed it entirely.\u00a0 Number two is the Ryder Cup<\/a>. Due to his recovery, Horschel does not qualify for the cup.\u00a0 A bit disappointing for him because Horschel has had long-time aspirations of playing on a team.\u00a0 When Horschel stepped back for his surgery, his standing would have put him on the list to be a potential team captain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The one thing Billy Horschel focused on the most during his announcement was his DP World Tour membership.\u00a0 The BMW PGA Championship is a DP World Tour event, which is why he mentioned that bit of news before moving on to the following.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, due to my injury, I will not be able to fulfil my minimum requirement for the 2025 season. After consulting with the DP World Tour and their member regulations, the best course of action is for me to resign my membership for 2025.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Horschel goes on to say that he is committing himself to full-time membership for the 2026 season.\u00a0 He also said that he has enjoyed his DP World membership and competing with players all around the world.\u00a0 Horschel is excited to get back on the field and is ready to do what he can to get back on the list for the Ryder Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

2026 Will Be A Big Year<\/span><\/h2>\n

For Billy Horschel he has a lot planned for himself for 2026.\u00a0 Number one is to get back on the DP World Tour, and number two is to get back on the Ryder Cup list.\u00a0 He came very close to making the Ryder Cup as a captain this year before his surgery.\u00a0 It is not hard to see how Horschel will get back up into that position again.\u00a0 Hopefully, this time without landing a shot on a spectator.\u00a0 Next month, fans and players alike can look forward to seeing Horschel on the field, ready to do the thing he loves.<\/span><\/p>\n
