Greetings for Bernhard Langer from fellow tour players

Bernhard Langer, who is the oldest player on the PGA Tour Champions and therefore get’s calles “Dad” by his fellow tour players, got injured in February. Now his friends on the tour send their best wishes to “Dad”.

Recovery wishes for Bernhard Langer

Fred Couples. Padraig Harrington, Ernie Els and Steve Stricker have contacted their friend bernhard langer via video message. They sent the video from Newport Beach, where Langer has won before. “Hopefully you’re on the couch relaxing, I know that’s where I would be”, said Fred Couples and hopes to see Langer back in action soon. Padraig Harrington said he would look up to him and what he does. “Everybody’s learning from you and we miss you out here”, says the Ire. Furthermore Ernie Els sent his best wishes to Langer wishing him a speedy recovery. Last but not least Steve Stricker had a message for “Dad”: “Hi Dad, we sure miss you out here, but I have one question for you. What do you miss the most about being out here on the Champions Tour?” Langer is still due to answer that question. But as the keen golfer he is, Langer probably misses everything what playing professional golf is about.

We miss you, @BernhardLanger6 ❤️

Achilles Tendon Rupture in February

In February the exceptional German golfer ruptured his Achilles tendon during a training session in Boca Raton, Florida. Following his injury, he underwent surgery directly in Miami. According to sports physician Dr. Tino Lorenz, surgery for an Achilles tendon rupture is one of the more complicated procedures and requires a recovery period of three to six months. Although the downtime for professional athletes can be reduced through improved rehabilitation conditions, it remains questionable whether Bernhard Langer will return to the course one last time on the DP World Tour on his farewell tour. The BMW International Open will take place in Munich at the beginning of July. A full recovery by then seems quite realistic.
