Boo is back: Weekley overcomes injury, cancer
Boo Weekley, out since July 2017 because of injury and cancer, is back playing golf and is in his fourth week of action on the Web.com Tour.
www.nbcsports.comI don’t have live updates right now, but here’s what’s publicly known about Boo Weekley in recent years.
- Boo Weekley’s public golf activity has largely shifted from regular PGA Tour play to sporadic appearances and comebacks, including runs on the Web.com Tour and later PGA Tour Champions, after dealing with injuries and cancer. This has kept him in the public eye mainly through interviews and feature pieces rather than consistent tournament play.[1][3][4]
- He has spoken openly about substantial health challenges, notably elbow tendinitis, a cancer diagnosis and related surgeries, and long rehabilitation periods, which helped explain his reduced presence on the main PGA Tour.[3][4][1]
- In recent years, coverage has framed him as a fan favorite who embraced the grind of professional golf again, even if his primary competition schedule has been irregular or regional rather than full-time on the PGA Tour.[4][3]
