Sea Island, GA— Davis Love III will not play any golf for a minimum of eight weeks after suffering a severe left-ankle injury while playing a round of leisure golf late last week.
Love, currently ranked 51st in the world, tore tendons in the left ankle when he stepped in a hole and will have surgery in seven to ten days.
"An MRI proved that all the ligaments on the outside of the ankle are torn," said Dr. Melvin Deese, who diagnosed Love. "Obviously, those ligaments are very significant for a golfer because they stabilize the foot during the swing."
Love is scheduled to play in the Dell Webb Father/Son Challenge and Target World Challenge. Both events are in December.
"Davis is eager to start the therapy after his operation and fulfill the commitments he has remaining this season," said Love’s manager Mac Barnhardt.
