Australian golfer Jeffrey Guan's promising career took a devastating turn after a freak accident left him blind in one eye.
Just weeks after making his PGA Tour debut in September, Guan was struck in the face by a golf ball during a pro-am tournament in New South Wales, Australia. The incident occurred as he turned to put away his club, leaving him with severe injuries.
Guan described the excruciating pain and anxiety he experienced following the accident. He underwent multiple surgeries, including one to stabilize his eyeball, and spent weeks in intensive care. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, doctors confirmed that he had lost vision in his left eye permanently.
Despite the setback, Guan remains determined to overcome adversity and return to the sport he loves. He expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received and vowed to "conquer any obstacle" in his path.
To help Guan financially during his recovery and support his aspirations of returning to professional golf, an online fundraiser has been launched. The goal is to raise a significant amount to provide him with peace of mind and the resources necessary to pursue his dreams.
