Okay, so I was watching some golf highlights the other day, or maybe it was just scrolling through pictures online, I can’t quite recall exactly. But I saw Harry Higgs, and I immediately thought, wait a minute, what’s going on with his face?

It looked different. Like he had some marks or something, particularly around his nose and maybe cheeks? It wasn’t super clear from the first glance, but enough to make me curious. You know how it is, you see something out of the ordinary and your brain just goes, “Hmm, need to figure that out.”
My Search Process
So, the first thing I did was just open up my browser. My go-to move. I typed in something simple like “what happened to Harry Higgs face”. Pretty straightforward.
Got a bunch of results back, as you’d expect. Some were forum discussions, people asking the same question I had. Others were sports articles, sometimes mentioning his appearance in passing.
- Checked a few fan forums first. Lots of speculation there. Some guessed injury, others maybe an allergic reaction. You know how forums can be.
- Then I looked at some actual sports news sites. I figured they might have a more concrete answer.
- Poked around on social media a bit too, searching his name and “face”. Same mix of questions and guesses.
Finding the Likely Answer
After clicking through a few different articles and discussions, a common theme started to emerge. It wasn’t some dramatic injury or anything like that. Most reliable sources seemed to point towards skin treatment.
Apparently, being a pro golfer means tons and tons of time out in the sun. Makes sense, right? The general consensus I found was that he was likely getting treatment for pre-cancerous skin spots, or maybe dealing with the effects of sun damage. Some mentioned specific treatments that can leave temporary marks like that. It’s something called actinic keratosis treatment, I think a few places mentioned, but basically, it’s about dealing with sun exposure effects.
It kind of clicked then. Golfers are outside constantly, so taking care of their skin, especially preventing serious issues down the line, is a big deal. The marks looked consistent with some types of topical skin treatments people get for sun damage.
So, yeah. That seemed to be the story. Not an accident or a fight, haha, just seems like necessary skin care probably related to all the hours he spends playing golf under the sun. Glad I looked it up, cleared up my curiosity.
