Canadian golfer Graham DeLaet set to undergo back surgery
Canadian pro golfer Graham DeLaet says he’ll miss another 6-12 months following back surgery.
DeLaet said on Twitter that he will undergo microdiscectomy surgery, the same procedure he had on a different disc in 2011.
“I’ve exhausted every other option and I know from past experience that this will give me the chance to compete at my best again,” DeLaet said in a statement.
The 36-year-old native of Weyburn, Sask., underwent stem-cell treatment on his back in January. He hasn’t played in a PGA Tour event since last October.
