Former Race to Dubai frontrunner Paul Casey returns to action at the Volvo World Match Play Championship this week aiming to recreate his early season form.
The Englishman made it all the way to third spot on the world rankings after victories in Abu Dhabi in January, Houston in April, and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, but suffered a torn rib muscle practising at Turnberry for The Open and last played at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at the start of August.
“The doctor has now given me the all-clear to get back to playing,” said Casey, who is currently ranked fourth in both The Race to Dubai and world rankings.
“Although the injury is not 100% repaired and there is a little discomfort in the area, I have been informed I’m all clear to resume playing and practising as per normal.
“I am not expecting to be tournament sharp straightaway. However, I’m very excited to be getting back to competition and resuming my challenge for The Race to Dubai.
“The Volvo World Match Play Championship is a great place to start, and I hope I can finish off this season the way I started it.”
