Harris English withdraws from the Masters as he continues to recover from hip surgery

“I’m progressing very well from recent hip surgery, but have to exercise caution as I return to play.”

On Valentine’s Day, Harris English underwent surgery to repair the labrum in his right hip. He hasn’t made a start on the PGA Tour since, a trend that will continue next week.

English has officially withdrawn from the Masters, saying he’s “progressing very well from recent hip surgery, but have to exercise caution as I return to play.”

The Georgia Bulldog tied for 21st at Augusta National last season, which stands as his best finish at the year’s first men’s major in three career appearances.

After a consistent campaign in 2021 that included a win at the Travelers Championship, English has made just four official starts this season with his best finish coming at the Sentry Tournament of Champions (T-30).
