LA QUINTA, Calif. — PGA and British Open champion Xander Schauffele withdrew from the American Express on Monday due to health reasons, becoming the second person to have to withdraw from his third PGA Tour event of the season. Highly ranked players.
Scottie Scheffler withdrew last week, which was no surprise as the world No. 1 player is recovering from minor surgery on his right hand, which was punctured by glass while preparing Christmas dinner.
Schauffele's manager said in a text message that the world's No. 2 player withdrew due to health reasons, but gave no further details.
American Express is offering three courses starting Thursday. Former U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, ranked seventh, is now the only player in the top 10 to compete.
