Bud Cauley makes comeback to pro golf after three-year long absence
Bud Cauley made his comeback to the PGA Tour after an absence of three years. The comeback was an iconic one, considering that he thought his career was over. In 2018, Cauley got into a severe car accident, which left him with six broken ribs, a collapsed right lung, and a broken left leg.
After his surgery, Cauley managed to make a full comeback, playing two seasons on the PGA Tour. However, in 2020, Cauley began experiencing pain on the right side of his body, forcing him to leave the PGA Tour.
He faced issues with the plates that were put into his chest during his earlier surgery and then had to frequent hospitals for quite a long time. However, after a string of successful chest and rib surgeries and a long rehabilitation, Cauley finally made his return to the PGA Tour in 2024.
Cauley was excited to make his comeback and said (via the PGA Tour):
“To be back here playing and playing well, it's nice. It just makes me that much more happy that I kept after it and didn't stop trying.”
Bud Cauley made his comeback at the 2024 WM Phoenix Open. He is currently playing at the Cognizant Classic, where he led the tournament after the first two rounds.
