This hidden benefit of new PGA Tour schedule gives injured players options

This hidden benefit of new PGA Tour schedule gives injured players options

The PGA Tour’s new schedule offers an unexpected perk for injured players – more flexibility. The revamped calendar, which debuted in 2023, features a more condensed season with increased off-weeks. This gives injured players additional time to recover and rehabilitate, without missing as many events.

“It’s a huge benefit for players who get hurt,” said PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan. “They now have more time to get healthy and get back on the course.”

This benefit was evident in the case of Cameron Champ, who suffered a rib injury in May 2023. Under the old schedule, he would have missed several significant events. However, the new schedule allowed him to take eight weeks off to recover, and he returned to action in July.

Professional Golfer Scottie Scheffler’s Struggle with Shanks

Scheffler’s Shank Exposes Impact of Clubface Position

In a recent YouTube video, professional golfer Scottie Scheffler discussed his struggles with shanks. A shank occurs when the golfer hits the ball with the hosel of the club instead of the clubface. Scheffler explained that his shank was caused by striking the ball too far towards the hosel, which caused the ball to curve to the right instead of going straight.

This incident highlights the importance of proper clubface position when hitting the ball. Hitting the ball with the correct part of the clubface ensures proper trajectory and accuracy. Golfers should be aware of the clubface’s “sweet spot” and strive to strike the ball on or near that spot for optimal results.
