Golfer drank his own urine for 10 days in bid to beat incurable disease before professional return

While Tiger Woods may have grabbed all the headlines at the Masters, the RBC Heritage has its own stunning story surrounding Morgan Hoffman as the pro played in his first tournament since 2019.

Back in 2016, the former amateur World No. 1 was diagnosed with incurable facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy which forced him off the PGA Tour. He received plenty of messages of support from the public and his fellow colleagues.

Hoffman disappeared and placed himself into exile in Nepal and Costa Rica to live off the grid after he was frustrated by the treatment prescribed to him by doctors. Instead, Hoffman tried alternative medicine therapies and took a more holistic approach as he drank his own urine for 10 days, indulged in hallucinogenic drugs and ate nothing but hundreds of grapes a day while he was supported by wife Chelsea.
