Matt Wolff Withdraws from Farmer Insurance Open
Matt Wolff has withdrawn from the Farmers Insurance Open after shooting six-over par in the first round.
According to a statement from the PGA Tour, Wolff is withdrawing due to a hand injury.
“This week I’ve been battling an injury with my right hand that I’ve fought to play through but has unfortunately continued to worsen over the last 24 hours. It’s become clear I need to make the tough but right decision to properly address the pain in order to be able to play at 100% as quickly as possible. I’m disappointed to withdraw from one of my favorite tournaments of the year but want to thank the PGA Tour, Farmers Insurance team and incredible volunteers for their hospitality this week,” said Wolff in a statement.
Wolff shot a 78 in the first round and was tied for 147th overall.
His withdrawal means that Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy will play together as a twosome on Friday.
