Boo is back: Weekley overcomes injury, cancer

BRADENTON, Fla. – Boo Weekley has been known to put down the golf clubs. But usually it’s to pick up a fishing pole.

For much of the past two years, that hasn’t been the case for Weekley.

The 45-year-old golfer hasn’t played on the PGA Tour since missing the cut at the 2017 RBC Canadian Open. He had surgery on his right elbow later that summer, after a bout with severe tendinitis, and the recovery kept him from hitting a golf ball for almost a year. When he finally was cleared to return to golf, his right shoulder started giving him trouble.
