Justin Harding’s commitment and drive are unquestionable. Although his goal of securing his DP World Tour card for another year hasn’t been achieved — with only 15 starts available on his medical exemption and a new swing to master — Harding remains optimistic. He’s determined to grow from the experience and is fully embracing the challenges ahead, convinced that it will ultimately make him a stronger and better player.
This week, Harding is in Spain for the challenging Qualifying School, where he’ll compete in the demanding six-round Final Stage. His goal: to finish in the top 20 and ties, securing his spot and continuing his journey on the DP World Tour. It’s a pivotal moment, and Harding is prepared to give it his all.
Harding’s comment towards the back end of 2023, after recovering from his injury:
and some… yesterday marked 1 year since I was told I’d fractured my hip and couldn’t play for the remainder of the ‘22 season. After an attempt at returning in the early part of the year I was told I’d now had multiple fractures of the same hip and advised to stop once again. It’s been 6 months now without competitive golf. ‘23 season will be lost I can only hope to get back in time for next season. Still not swinging but trying everything I can to be as ready as ever when the imagery says I’m healed. Will still be a long road back to pro competition but I’m looking forward to the challenge and being back out competing with the best where I belong.”Good Luck !!!
