Multiple PGA Tour Golfers Withdraw From the RBC Canadian Open on Short Notice originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The RBC Canadian Open tees off on Thursday this week. With a purse of $9.8 million, this event precedes the U.S. Open, which starts on June 12. Many golfers, including Rory McIlroy, will use this tournament to sharpen their skills before the major. However, the player sheet is starting to run thin.
Several golfers have decided to withdraw. Ben Martin, a $10.5 million golfer, and Brandon Matthews, who had been filling in after K.H. Lee’s withdrawal on Saturday, have both foregone their spots in the tournament.
Another $10.4 million golfer, Michael Kim, joined the list of withdrawals on Sunday. Brian Campbell, who exited the Memorial after the second round, will also not tee off at TPC Toronto after his shoulder injury.
