Bernhard Langer to Miss The Masters Due to Pickleball Injury

The two-time Masters champion suffered an Achilles tendon tear while playing pickleball, derailing his final appearance at Augusta National.

Bernhard Langer, a veteran golfer with two Masters titles, was injured playing pickleball, preventing his participation in this year's Masters tournament.
The 66-year-old golfer tore his Achilles tendon during a pickleball game, a sport he included in his fitness regime.
Langer disclosed the true cause of his injury after initially referring to it as a 'training exercise' last month.
Despite the setback, Langer plans to attend the Masters Club dinner for champions and aims to return to golf at the Insperity Invitational in May.
Pickleball's popularity surge in North America has led to an increase in related injuries, with Langer's case highlighting the sport's potential risks.
