Overview
- Ten weeks after a mid-November microdiscectomy, Thomas says recovery is progressing as he rebuilds fitness and hits wedges and short irons.
- He wrote that he aims to return at some point during the PGA Tour's Florida swing, which runs from the Cognizant Classic on Feb. 26–March 1 through the Players Championship on March 12–15.
- If that plan holds, his comeback would align with the Masters schedule from April 9–12.
- Thomas underwent surgery after an MRI identified a disc problem following months of nagging hip pain.
- The world No. 9 and 18-time PGA Tour winner is coming off a strong 2025 season that included an RBC Heritage victory and eight top-10 finishes.
