Jeff Overton hasn't been seen much inside the ropes on the PGA Tour in the last year, and now we know why.
Overton turned 34 Sunday and his wife, Christina, took to Twitter to explain in part her husband's absence from the PGA Tour and some of the health complications the two have been battling in recent months:

"After taking several months off of competitive golf due to a herniated disc, Jeff underwent a minimally invasive procedure in hopes of improving the area," Christina wrote.
