"Reflecting back on my 26th consecutive season on Tour and this one was not easy," he wrote. "It had an injury that I didn’t tell you guys about but we fought through it. It’s had laughter, it’s had tears, it’s had the utmost stress. Most importantly I have taken some incredible strength from the people who have supported me and keep supporting me. You’ve given me the reason to keep working so hard.

"This game never ceases to amaze me time and time again. The will to win and improve won’t ever stop. I love this game and I love playing infront of you guys. Not sure I will ever be ready to hang up the boots. The Dream continues and the Dream is real. Never let anyone get in the way of those Dreams. So many incredible things to look forward to for us all. Let 2026 preparations begin 👍🏼🙏🏼👊🏼❤️," he added.
