A stellar 2021 season has been mostly a wash for Harris English of St. Simons Island, Ga.
After winning twice, cracking the top-10 on the Official World Golf Ranking and making his Ryder Cup debut at Whistling Straits (he went 1-2 but lost both matches on the 18th hole), English hasn’t played since the Sony Open in January after hip surgery. He’s had a bone growth on his femur, which he treated with platelet-rich plasma injections, but surgery was inevitable and he finally pulled the trigger at a facility in Vail, Colo.
English was one of only two top-20 players to miss The Players Championship and the four-time Tour winner missed the Masters for the first time he was eligible, denying the Valdosta native and former University of Georgia player the chance to improve on his tied for 21st in 2021.
