Major champion and seven PGA Tour stars withdraw from 7.5 million pound CJ Cup Byron Nelson. The CJ Cup Byron Nelson tournament was thrown into disarray after a wave of high-profile withdrawals rocked the event at TPC Craig Ranch in McKini, Texas. With a purse of 7.5 million pounds on the line, the unexpected absences have left the field wide open. Tournament organizers were already on high alert earlier in the week due to adverse weather. Heavy rain and strong winds forced a course evacuation on Wednesday. Threatening delays to the opening round. Although play began as scheduled on Thursday, intermittent weather disruptions are expected to persist throughout the event. However, it’s the number of player withdrawals that caused the biggest stir. Among them was 2019 US Open champion Gary Woodland, who has not competed since finishing tied for 61st at the RBC Heritage and did not play in April’s Masters. His absence is seen as a major blow to the tournament lineup. Also withdrawing were Willurus, Michael Kim, Nick Dunlap, Brandt Snedeker, Keith Mitchell, Sh Kim, Joe Highmith, and Blades Brown. Brown’s decision raised eyebrows as he declined a sponsor’s exemption to instead play in a developmental tour event. An unexpected move for the rising talent. Despite the absences, the tournament still boasts star power, including world number one Scotty Sheffller, who is aiming to end a 5-month winless stretch. Sheffller finished fourth at the Masters and T8 at the RBC Heritage, and he remains one of the favorites to claim victory in Texas. Perhaps the most notable absentee, however, is Rory Mroy, fresh off his historic win at the Masters. Mroy, who secured a dramatic playoff victory over Justin Rose to claim his green jacket, opted not to participate in the CJ Cup, Byron Nelson. Returning to competition at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans alongside Shane Lowry, where the pair finished tied for 12th, Mroy hinted at the need for rest. I’ve got to just take a little bit of time here. It’s nice to have a week off, reset, and try to get some practice in. He said, “I’m looking forward to a couple of days off and recharging the batteries.” The 35-year-old is expected to return for the truest championship at the Philadelphia Cricket Club next week, where he will look to defend his title.
