After missing two majors, Brandt Snedeker now out indefinitely with ...
The former FedEx Cup champion won't be participating this season
www.cbssports.comHere’s what I can share about Brandt Snedeker’s illness status based on recent reporting up to 2026.
There is no widely reported current illness or active medical condition keeping Snedeker out of competition in 2026. Most recent widely covered medical notes center on past sternum-related issues, including an unusual sternum/joint instability case and a notable surgical intervention in 2023 that helped him return to competitive golf. These past issues are separate from any ongoing illness as of 2026, and there hasn’t been a clear, up-to-date illness report making headlines in 2025–2026.
The most prominent recent medical chapter for Snedeker involved a rare sternum-related surgery in 2023 after years of shoulder/sternum joint pain, followed by rehab and a return to competition later that year. He described the procedure as addressing a long-standing issue and expressed cautious optimism about resuming golf without pain. This was presented as a medical intervention rather than an acute illness at the time.
In 2017, Snedeker faced a sternum-related injury that caused him to miss major events and the season, effectively sidelining him for a period. That earlier setback was injury-related rather than a chronic illness, and he later returned to play. This history is relevant for understanding prior health-related interruptions, but it is not a present illness report from 2026.
