Morgan Hoffmann's unique path back to the PGA Tour leads to Hilton Head

It's been a long road back to the PGA Tour for Morgan Hoffmann.

And near the end of that road came a crash ... literally.

In 2016, Hoffmann was diagnosed with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic muscle disorder which leads to progressive muscle degeneration. After being told by doctors that his disease was essentially incurable, he relocated from Jupiter, Florida, to Costa Rica and tried a different series of treatments, eventually leading him back to professional golf.

Hoffmann, 32, hasn't made a Tour start since the 2019 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. He was eyeing a return to competition at March's Honda Classic, but he broke his shoulder and two ribs in a motorcycle accident in December.
