Looking Ahead
Following his participation at the RBC Heritage, Morikawa announced he will sit out the upcoming Zurich Classic of New Orleans to focus on recovery. He is also preparing for the birth of his first child with his wife, Katherine, later this spring.
As the PGA TOUR continues, Morikawa’s future schedule remains uncertain. He emphasized that he will proceed week by week as he assesses his physical status and upcoming responsibilities as a father.
Morikawa’s recent performance is particularly notable as it marks his fifth consecutive top-10 finish. His last victory was at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and he hopes to regain full strength as the season progresses.
