US EditionNoren Was Out of Golf for 7 Months and Now in the Final Group at a Major
- Swedish golfer Alex Noren, sidelined since October 2024 with a 90% torn hamstring tendon, reached the final group at the 2025 PGA Championship.
- Noren's injury involved his hamstring tendon on the sit bone and required a long recovery without surgery, causing him to miss 31 weeks of competition.
- He spent three months off-season and four months rehabilitating, balancing recovery with coaching his daughter's softball team before returning to competitive golf in early 2025.
- Noren fired a five-under 66 in the third round at Quail Hollow, birdied the last two holes, and stood three strokes behind leader Scottie Scheffler on eight-under 205 for 54 holes.
- Despite limited preparation, Noren expressed gratitude for his progress and hopes the mental perspective gained will help him play longer as he vies for his first major title.
