Morgan Hoffman Story

Morgan Hoffmann left the PGA Tour in search of a cure. He found so much more | Golf News and Tour Information | GolfDigest.com

A devastating diagnosis left a promising young player with few options. Then he went to Costa Rica

Worth a read.

IN A PAST LIFE, MORGAN HOFFMANN was a world No. 1 amateur, Oklahoma State phenom and PGA Tour check-casher with cropped hair, biceps bulging out of his polo and a sparkling new crib in Jupiter, Fla. That was before a half-decade slog through a nightmare somehow brought him to paradise. He now stands proudly inside a sprawling mountaintop house with no doors or windows in the jungle of Costa Rica, his curly golden locks cascading to his shoulders, barefoot, feeding fresh-ground peanut butter to three dogs and two cats. It’s Monday, but it could be Saturday for the same price.

I read this last night. Fascinating story. That said, it never really talked about if what he's doing is really working. Has he regained muscle? It says the atrophy has stopped, but nothing beyond that. It says that they talked about speed numbers, but the article doesn't give details about that. He was under 110 mph with the driver a few years ago - is it better? 

It will be really interesting to see what happens when (if?) he tries to get back his card with those 3 starts.

I listened to the Golf Digest podcast. It is a little more interesting listening to him speak.

Podcast was great - pretty sick journey to have that many medical professionals fail him to a degree. Like his approach to life - hope he can come back to the tour some day!
