|
Peter Jacobsen will be spending most of the next few months at home, starting Saturday. That's when the Champions Tour golfer and Bonita Springs, FL resident will undergo hip replacement surgery.
Jacobsen hopes to return sometime in November. He has played in every Merrill Lynch Shootout. This is the 18th year for the unofficial tournament, which features 24 tour professionals in two-man teams.
"On behalf of Greg (Norman) and everyone involved in the Merrill Lynch Shootout, we wish Peter a speedy recovery," tournament director Taylor Ives said. "He's a great ambassador for the game of golf. We hope to see him back out there soon."
It remains to be seen if that will be in time for the Shootout. Sixteen of the 24 players in the field have been announced, with the final eight expected to be named by the end of the month. Norman, the tournament founder and host, had said on Friday that Jacobsen was on a lengthy list of candidates for those eight spots. |
