Darren Clarke, the professional golfer, lost his wife to breast cancer last month. Since July 21 he hasn’t played competitively in a single tournament. He took his time off golf to care for his cancer victim wife. After her wife passed away, Clarke has been trying to regroup himself and mourn the loss of her 39 year old wife and the mother of their two sons.

Finally he is ready to be back in world of golf. He said that he is ready to be a part of the upcoming golf tournament, Ryder Cup. Clarke also said that his game is good and although the decision of returning back to golf was tough, he is returning because he knows he can fully contribute to it. Clarke said that he knows his wife would have wanted him to play so he made himself available for selection. Clarke could not have qualified automatically due to the time he took off to care for Heather but he was eligible to be selected — and he was. Clarke is grateful and prepared for the challenge. “I am stronger altogether,” he says. “I’ve had to face up a lot of tough things. I hope I’ve come through it a better person.”
