PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Troy Merritt returns to the PGA Tour this week following surgery in January to remove the top rib on his left side after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome last year.
Merritt said he’d hoped to be able to return to work in time for the Zurich Classic in April but his recovery went much better than he expected.
“I shouldn’t have been back for another five weeks but recovery and rehab went extremely well and I had to talk my wife into coming back this week,” Merritt said on Wednesday at The Players.
