Morgan Hoffmann once fit the standard PGA Tour player mold. Now his life couldn’t be more different. When doctors diagnosed the former World No. 1 amateur with muscular dystrophy and told him to expect his condition to deteriorate, Hoffmann retreated to the Costa Rica rainforest in search of an alternative. In this gripping episode, Dan Rapaport travels to Costa Rica to chronicle just how far Hoffmann has traveled from the fairways of PGA Tour, and to understand why he still has his sights on making his way back.
