Tranlate this title Will Zalatoris injured, he will not play in 2027 in spanish

American golfer Zalatoris will miss the upcoming season as he prepares to undergo back surgery in November—a procedure intended to address an injury that has plagued him for the past four years.

Zalatoris, 30, a winner on the PGA Tour, is hopeful that the spinal procedure will be successful, allowing him to resolve his physical issues and return to competition by 2028.

«I’ve been through four years of hell, so it’s good to have something that I hope will fix it. It’s not something you want to do, but when three tour physical therapists tell you it needs to be done at some point, you just go and do it… Everything is connected, and I just want to get it fixed. I’m the oldest thirty-year-old I’ve ever known,» the Californian player told the media ahead of an upcoming tournament in Austin, scheduled for November 9.

This season, Zalatoris—currently ranked 599th in the world—has only managed to compete in five tournaments, failing to make the cut in two of them.

Having held a PGA Tour card since 2021, Zalatoris emerged as one of the circuit’s rising stars after winning the FedEx St. Jude Championship the following year.

That same year, he also finished as the runner-up at the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and the Masters Tournament.

According to the golfer from San Francisco, the PGA Tour has provided assurances that he will be able to play in the Challenger Series in 2028—a second-tier circuit set to be introduced that season.

Adherence to the rules is a fundamental element of the game; because golf relies almost entirely on the players’ self-control and personal integrity, scores are frequently distorted—sometimes deliberately, but often unintentionally or due to carelessness—when players fail to follow the rules. In addition to the rules, golf follows a code of conduct known as «etiquette,» which generally entails playing the game with due respect for the golf course and fellow players.
