Recent Withdrawals
The field hasnât been immune to last-minute movement. Here are a few players who have withdrawn from the tournament.
- Gary Woodland
- Nicolai Højgaard
- Aaron Wise
- Pierceson Coody
- Matti Schmid
- Isaiah Salinda
Fresh off a recent victory, Woodlandâs withdrawal comes as little surprise. The veteran captured momentum with a statement win at the Texas Children’s Houston Open and is opting to take a well-earned week off, likely to celebrate and reset before gearing up for Masters week at Augusta National.
“I’ve got a big fight ahead of me,” Woodland said after his win in Houston, “and I’m going to keep going. But I’m proud of myself right now.”
