Ryan spoke to Today ShowExecutive Producer Jim Bell Tuesday to get the latest on the condition of Matt Lauer who went into surgery yesterday.
Lauer sustained a serious injury to his shoulder after he collided with a deer while riding his bike in New York.
"He had surgery yesterday afternoon to repair a separated shoulder," said Bell. "As you probably know golf is an important thing to Matt and he didn't want to face the prospect of swinging a golf club in pain for the rest of his days."
