ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)\u2014Two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer<\/a> had surgery
\non his left thumb and will miss the next two months, ending his streak of 27
\nconsecutive appearances at Augusta National.<\/p>\n

Langer, who already has won on the Champions Tour this year, injured his
\nthumb in a biking accident. He had surgery Wednesday in New York to repair
\nligaments. The surgery is commonly known as \u201cskier\u2019s thumb repair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obviously disappointed that the injury occurred, but especially
\ndisappointed with such an important part of my schedule coming up, including the
\nMasters,\u201d Langer said in a statement. \u201cI do, however, appreciate the fine care
\nof Dr. (Andrew) Weiland and his team, and will work hard to recover to allow me
\nto resume play on the Champions Tour this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Langer, who has missed the cut the last five times at the Masters, won his
\nfirst green jacket in 1985, and returned to Augusta National the following year
\nas No. 1 in the world when the world ranking was first published.<\/p>\n

He also won the Masters in 1993.<\/p>\n

Weiland said Langer will be in a splint for five weeks before beginning
\nrehab, and a full recovery is expected.<\/p>\n

Langer, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, has won 15 times on the
\nChampions Tour over the last three years, including the Senior U.S. Open and
\nSenior British Open last year. He was the Champions Tour player of the year.<\/p>\n

The first senior major of the year for Langer is the Senior PGA Championship
\nat Valhalla on May 26-29.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
