Cassie Porter's LPGA Tour journey: ‘A misdiagnosis cost me 18 months of golf ’

Cassie Porter, a 24-year-old Australian LPGA Tour golfer, overcame a misdiagnosis that cost her 18 months of competitive golf, during which she feared she might never play again. She grew up near Brisbane, Australia, initially preferring tennis and swimming before developing a passion for golf at a young age and committing to the sport full-time at 12. Despite the setback, Porter has returned to form on the LPGA Tour, recording three top-10 finishes.
