Ryan Fox’s return to competitive golf at the Irish Open marks an important moment in his 2024 season, as he manages both a hip injury and his bid to secure a PGA Tour card. Having been sidelined for a month due to his injury, Fox is cautiously optimistic as he steps back into competition. The New Zealand golfer hopes to regain his form at the Irish Open, a tournament where he has historically performed well, finishing as high as third in previous years.
Despite his injury, Fox has his sights set on the PGA Tour, aiming to build on his performances later in the year. This comes at a crucial time, as he needs to perform well in upcoming events to secure his tour card for 2025.
Managing his schedule and health will be key as Fox navigates the latter part of the 2024 season, balancing recovery with competitive demands. The Irish Open will serve as a key indicator of his form as he prepares for his return to the U.S.
