Summary
Hunter Mahan, away from the PGA Tour since 2021, said a return to competitive golf is back on his radar as he posts videos documenting his way back into the game.
55,000 Instagram followers have gathered since June after Mahan began sharing practice clips and instruction, a move he said started with his wife's encouragement and a strong fan response.
Six PGA Tour wins would give Mahan immediate PGA Tour Champions status when he turns 50, though he said he still has more than five years to decide whether to pursue the senior circuit.
The renewed interest marks a shift from the burnout that drove the former world No. 4 to step away, as he now tries to find a new place in golf through content, coaching and possible competition.
