Despite many successes on the course, the couple have had some struggles off it. After claiming the AT&T Byron Nelson Tournament in 2017, Horschel hinted at a private struggle he and his family had been dealing with.
Later that day, Brittany released a tweet to explain her husband's emotional reaction, revealing publicly that she sought treatment the previous year for alcoholism.

Appearing on Good Morning America in 2017, Brittany said: “I was hiding how much I was drinking. He knew that I drank a couple of glasses of wine at night, but other than that I really kept it hidden from friends and family; and, especially, Billy.”
"It was tough. She was an alcoholic, she had issues drinking but our relationship together as a husband-wife was not great. We needed to work on that … so for me to be more open, communicate better with my wife and our relationship was a massive thing that we learned how to do." said Horschel.
Since entering treatment, Brittany has stayed sober and not touched a drink.
