Even after years on the PGA TOUR, Billy Horschel still has a golf bucket list.

During his appearance on 5 Clubs on February 23, 2026, the seven-time PGA TOUR winner admitted there are famous American courses he has yet to experience.

“I’m so focused on my weeks,” Horschel said. “There’s a lot of golf courses that I haven’t played.”

Cypress Point Club in California was the first name that came to our minds, it's definitely one of the most exclusive and widely celebrated courses in the game.

“Cypress Point, obviously,” Horschel said, revealing he still hasn’t played there. That may soon change. “I’m actually going to be out there in October for Tiger’s Foundation event… I think I’m going to finally take up some of the members on the offer to play.”

Alister MacKenzie was the architect behind Cypress Point, and it was opened in 1928. It is continually listed among the greatest golf courses in the world and is still a unique experience even for the leading professionals.

Horschel also pointed to a newer private club he hopes to visit soon. “One I’ll probably play here sooner is Fall Line in Georgia… I heard it’s unreal… It’s fantasy land.”

For Horschel, the conversation showed that even TOUR players still have dream courses, and some of golf’s most talked-about layouts remain surprisingly out of reach.

Injury That Temporarily Halted Billy Horschel’s Career

Billy Horschel’s career paused in 2025 when a hip injury forced him away from competition for several months. He underwent right hip surgery in May 2025, missing a large part of the season while focusing on recovery.

The eight-time PGA TOUR winner had to step back from competition, and rehabilitation became the priority.

Horschel started feeling the impact on his plans right away. He pulled out of tournaments due to leg problems, then later confirmed surgery was needed, something he viewed as unavoidable even if poorly timed.

"This is just bad luck," he mentioned when talking about the delay and what comes next during healing

The surgery meant he missed three of the four major championships in 2025 and spent months in rehabilitation before returning later in the year.

Coming off a solid run, the sudden downtime hit hard. Still, Horschel stood firm through rehab, eyes set on returning stronger than before.
