Horgan retired as the top scorer in hurling championship history. From his debut in 2008 until his final appearance for Cork, last July’s All-Ireland final, the Glen Rovers clubman scored 32-683 in the championship.

Horgan, who turned 37 in May, won four Munster titles, the most recent of which arrived this summer, and also four All-Star awards. The All-Ireland final loss to Tipperary was Horgan’s fourth taste of defeat on hurling’s biggest day, after 2013, 2021 and 2024.
