In 2011, Holmes withdrew from the PGA Championship after dealing with chronic vertigo symptoms. He was later diagnosed with Chiari malformations, a structural defect in the cerebellum. He underwent brain surgery to address the condition. Complications followed when he had an allergic reaction to the titanium mesh plate placed during the procedure, requiring a second surgery. Further setbacks included elbow surgery and an ankle injury, all of which limited him to just six PGA Tour events in 2013.
Despite these challenges, Holmes remained active and pursued other competitive opportunities, such as playing in the Japan Golf Tour and participating in the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament.
J.B. Holmes is married to Erica Holmes. Throughout his health ordeals and recovery, Erica played a supportive role, especially during the critical period following his surgeries. The couple's resilience during this time marked an inspiring chapter in Holmes's personal and professional journey.
