Jeffrey Guan’s Incredible Golf Comeback 😱 After Losing Vision in One Eye
⛳ From tragedy to triumph! 21-year-old Jeffrey Guan is making one of the most inspiring comebacks in golf. After being struck by a golf ball in a pro-am last year, Guan lost vision in his left eye and spent months relearning how to drive, write, and play golf.
Nearly a year later, the Australian rising star is set to tee off at the Northern Territory PGA Championship on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia — marking his first professional start since the accident.
“I’m coming in with no expectations,” Guan told Australian Golf Digest. “I’m just going to play and see where my game’s at. The game is feeling pretty good, and I’m really excited.”
Guan’s journey has been extraordinary — from struggling with depth perception to even considering a career as a professional gamer. But with the support of the PGA Tour of Australasia and encouragement from fellow Australians Adam Scott and Min Woo Lee, he’s back stronger than ever. 💪
Watch as Jeffrey Guan steps back onto the course, proving that resilience, determination, and love for the game can overcome even the toughest obstacles.

Prepare for one of the most inspiring golf comebacks of the year. 21-year-old Jeffrey Guan is set to return to competitive golf this week. Guan, a rising Australian star who captured attention by winning the 2022 Junior Players Championship at TPC Srass, faced a lifealtering setback last year. During a proam, he was struck by a golf ball and airlifted to the hospital, ultimately losing vision in his left eye despite multiple surgeries. Nearly a year later, Guan is ready to tee it up at the Northern Territory PGA Championship on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia. His first professional start since the accident. I’m definitely excited for this week, Guan told Evan Priest of Australian Golf Digest. I’ve been practicing hard with my dad. I’m coming in with no expectations. Just going to play and see where my game’s at. See if my tournament spirit comes back. The game is feeling pretty good and I’m really excited. The journey back has been extraordinary. One had to relearn how to write, drive, and play golf, struggling with depth perception, and basic coordination. At one point, he could barely pick up a water bottle, and even considered pursuing a career as a professional gamer. Coming back from that 12-month process, starting with driving a car, then slowly chipping and putting was probably the hardest process, Guan said. Mentally, I wasn’t feeling too great. I was a heavy gamer. So once I could use technology, I fixated on that before golf came back into my life. I even thought about becoming one of the top 100 gamers in the world. But as soon as I picked up a golf club again, everything changed. The PGA tour of Australasia granted Guantanam exemption, giving him full status for the season and supporting his return. Along the way, he has drawn inspiration and encouragement from fellow Australians, including Adam Scott and Minu Lee. There are golfers and even people on social media who have gone through the same incident. It’s really helpful, Guan said. Min Wu and Adam reached out. Adam has such great character. He’s a true role model. His message was basically, get well. I hope you recover soon, and I want to see you smashing it back out there on tour. After nearly a year of setbacks, Jeffrey Guan is ready to take the first steps in what could be one of golf’s most remarkable comebacks.
