ATLANTA, GA (SNN-TV) – Will Zalatoris, who picked up his first PGA Tour victory two weeks ago, has withdrawn from the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club because of two herniated disks in his back.
Zalatoris was injured on the third hole of the third round of the BMW Championship on Saturday at Wilmington Country Club in Delaware. He tried to play through the injury but withdrew on the next hole.
Zalatoris, the ninth-ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking, also won’t compete in next month’s Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina, per his agent on Twitter.
