Vacation Watch: When Will The World’s Best Golfers Return To Action?

Jason Day

The Australian is arguably the most talented out there when healthy, but Day is a ticking time bomb for some sort of ailment, drawing the ire of some critics. It should come as no surprise then that he’s used to a little R&R. This year he’s been sidelined since the TOUR Championship to rehab his back, missing a beloved Australia swing that also included the World Cup of Golf this year.

“The prognosis for a successful return to playing next season is not an issue…,” a statement from Day read. From my expert research, I haven’t seen Day mention a specific return date, but he’s competed in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, held on Jan. 5-8 this year, multiple times in the past, including the past two years. Thanks to three PGA Tour wins in ’15-’16, he’s eligible again and could choose to ease back into things at a no-cut, low-stress event in Hawaii.
