Billy Horschel Setting Big Goals Starting In 2026

After months of recovery, Billy Horschel is back on the field and ready to play again.  However, his recovery came too late for the PGA Tour season.  He only got out just in time for the FedEx Cup to end.  That hasn’t stopped Horschel from making big plans for 2026 and beyond, all in hopes of reaching his full potential in his golf career.  

Billy Horschel’s Surgery And Recovery

The reason why Billy Horschel was benched for most of the year was due to a hip injury he had back in April.  To correct it, he needed surgery and went under the knife back in early May.  The recovery time for the surgery lasted until very recently.  He managed to miss the entire PGA season because of the recovery time.  His next planned event is the DP World Tour BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.  Just next week, Horschel will be back on the field.  

Billy Horschel In 2026

Recently in a video released by the official PGA Tour Twitter account.  Billy Horschel was going over his training routine and was highlighting how the months off have been good for reevaluating where he can improve.  Yes, even while he is still going through some of the stiffness that comes after a recovery period.  He said in the same video that he struggles with patience.  He is trying to build up strength and improve his hip movement to improve his swing.  Horschel wants to take the months ahead in between PGA seasons to train even harder to make a great comeback for 2026

Why is Horschel doing all this?  Well, he wants to reach his full potential and has some things that he would like to accomplish.  Billy Horschel would say in the gym:

“I still believe even at 38, turning 39 at the end of the year, I believe I am nowhere close to reaching my potential. I believe there is a lot of really good golf left in store for me. So hopefully for the next four, five, six years we can put two or three really solid years together and see what comes out of it. I think if I am able to do that, I think some of the goals that I still haven’t accomplished will be accomplished.”

One major goal for Billy Horschel is to bring home a Major trophy.  Something that Horschel has not done in his career thus far.  In the coming years, he plans to change that.  He also has plans for making up for lost opportunities in 2025, such as the FedEx Cup, the Ryder Cup, and all the other missed events.  Like the signatures and regular tournaments he missed.

The 2026 Season

Although he missed quite a lot during 2025, Billy Horschel is not letting that hold him back.  He has big plans for his career in the years to come.  From winning majors to making the Ryder and FedEx Cups, he has a lot on his mind.  With the time he is taking to train himself back up, it will be interesting to see what he has to offer for 2026 alone.
