The American golf star has achieved 21 wins on the PGA Tour and was once the world No.2.
Love III, 60, has insisted that he is now healthier after the surgery, as he told Jim Nantz.
Nantz said on CBS: ‘I just want to pass along our warmest wishes from the entire golf world… we’re standing behind you, Davis Love III.
“Folks, he was just released this morning from Mayo in Jacksonville after open-heart surgery this week to replace, in his words, a leaky valve that was detected about 10 years ago.
“It had been scheduled, this operation, for some time. He said, ‘I went in healthy and I came out healthier.’
“I spoke to him just before we came on the air today.”
Love III was prominent during the 1990s and early 2000s with his PGA Championship victory coming in 1997 at Winged Foot.
