Former major winner Davis Love III is recovering from open-heart surgery.
CBS' Jim Nantz made the announcement during the network's coverage of the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, and Love confirmed it in a statement later Saturday.
The Hall of Famer said the procedure was done "to resolve a valve issue that my doctors had been monitoring for the last 10 years."
"The procedure was successful and I'm now at home recovering," Love said in his statement. "I went in healthy and came out healthier."
He went on to thank his team of doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.
"I'm grateful for them and their teams' expertise and care, and I am motivated to prove them right and get back to playing golf by this summer!" Love said.
Love, 60, is a 21-time winner on the PGA Tour. His lone major win came at the 1997 PGA Championship. He also won The Players Championship twice (1992, 2003).
