Greg Norman will miss the next three major championships this year and the rest of the PGA Tour season after arthroscopic surgery Wednesday on his left shoulder.
The 43-year-old Australian, who has missed only five majors since 1980, withdrew from The Players Championship in late March because of shoulder pain and missed the cut two weeks later at the Masters.
“The procedure itself was a success,” Norman’s business manager Bart Collins said Wednesday from the offices of Great White Shark Enterprises in Tequesta, Fla. “His arm will be in a sling for the next 10 days, and after that he will be able to take it off from time to time to get some range of motion.”
Collins said “significant” rehabilitation would not begin for four weeks and the entire rehab period would last six months.
