After withdrawing from the recent RBC Canadian Open, Mike Weir has undergone surgery on the extensor tendon in his right elbow. The surgery was done on Thursday and Weir is expected to be out of action for three to six months.
The surgery was performed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews at his practice in Pensacola, Fla.
“My elbow has caused me problems over the past year and during the RBC Canadian Open, it essentially became unplayable,” said Weir.
“Dr. Andrews is the best in the business and it’s my hope with patience and diligent post-surgery rehab, I will be able to put my elbow problems behind me and look forward,” he said.
