Arnold Has Successful Hernia Surgery
October 19, 2004
Arnold Palmer underwent successful surgery for an abdominal hernia at
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, on Monday, October 18. The
condition had been troubling Arnold since early in the year, first
causing him serious concern during the Masters Tournament in
April. While he continued to play during the ensuing months, he
usually wore an elastic support brace around his waist on the golf
course. He was released by his Mayo Clinic doctors the morning
after the surgery and returned to his winter home at the Bay Hill
Club in Orlando, Florida, to recuperate. It was uncertain
how long he would have to wait before resuming practice, but he expects
to be cleared by his doctors for his next scheduled
competitive appearance in the UBS Cup event at Kiawah Island, South
Carolina, the week of November 15.
