Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Travelers Championship has been prolific in top player withdrawals. Whether because it's played after a super-demanding tournament like the US Open, or for another reason, the truth is that four players have now left the TPC River Highlands without completing the event. The most recent case is that of Viktor Hovland, who withdrew after playing two holes of the final round, citing neck discomfort. Viktor Hovland withdrew during the final round of the Travelers Championship with a neck injury. — PGA TOUR Communications (@PGATOURComms) June 22, 2025 "I warmed up on the range, felt great," he said, after withdrawing. "I was just going to hit a little bit last couple drivers before I was going to go to the first tee, and hit one shot and then felt a little bit in my neck, but it didn' felt fine, didn't feel hardly anything at all, just felt like something was maybe brewing." "Then the next shot that I hit with a driver it just felt like, yeah, it just cracked. I don't know exactly what happened, but there's something that happened and just couldn't move." Hovland confirmed that he tried to find a way to stay in the tournament, but it ultimately wasn't possible: "I got someone to look at it or do a little bit, but I had five minutes before I was on the tee. There was really nothing we could do. So, tried to play, but just wasn't doable." "I could hardly just stand over the ball and move my neck. Couldn't really do anything."

Viktor Hovland of Norway plays his shot from the first tee during the final round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 22, 2025 in Cromwell, had a spectacular round during the Moving Day, in which he carded seven bogey-free birdies for a score of 63. This brought his 54-hole score to 6-under, and he entered Sunday tied for 15th, 10 strokes behind leader Tommy Fleetwood. The Norwegian joins Eric Cole, Si Woo Kim, and Jordan Spieth on the list of Travelers Championship withdrawals. Cole withdrew due to illness before the start of the fourth round, while Kim was unable to finish on Friday due to a back injury. Spieth, meanwhile, withdrew before completing the first round due to neck and upper back pain. This is only the second time Hovland has withdrawn from a tournament in his seven-season PGA Tour career. His only previous withdrawal came at the 2021 US Open.

PGA Championship Has First Casualty as PGA Tour Pro Withdraws
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entering the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship, all players remained healthy and the field remained in tact. That changed midway through the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, as Patton Kizzire withdrew from the tournament. PGA Tour communications announced he pulled out of the event because of an unknown injury. Patton Kizzire WD during round two of the PGA Championship due to injury. — PGA TOUR Communications (@PGATOURComms) May 16, 2025 The former Auburn Tiger signed for a 3-over 74 Thursday with a scorecard that included seven bogeys and four birdies. He had a big hill to climb on Friday, and his day started terribly. Kizzire was 6-over through the first six holes of the day, but would choose to pull out after making a par on 10. He let Matt McCarty and Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen know he would bow out after he shook their hands on the 10th green.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 16: Bryson DeChambeau of the United States and his caddie Greg Bodine ook over a putt on the 18th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 16, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. More Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Kizzire struggled off the tee (-0.331 in SG off the tee), approaching the green (-0.920 SG), from tee to green (-1.037) and on the greens (-2.428). The only stat area where he did not lose strokes was around the green, where he picked up +0.364 shots. This withdrawal is not Kizzire's first in 2025. He also did it at the Valspar Championship. The three-time PGA Tour winner threw a tantrum at the Copperhead course as Kizzire punted his putter like a football. The following week, he missed the cut and was T65 at the Valero Texas Open, followed by missed cuts at Augusta National and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. He started the year with a T40 at the Sentry in Hawaii, but went downhill from there. Kizzire missed the next six cuts and has nine on the season overall, with just one Top 25 that came last week at the Myrtle Beach Classic with a T20. The 141st player in the world has made just $172,509 on the season, and if his play does not improve, he will likely miss the playoffs, too.

PGA Tour pro assessed 2-stroke penalty for using distance device with improper settings
PGA Tour pro assessed 2-stroke penalty for using distance device with improper settings In the third week of distance-measuring device (DMD) testing on the PGA TOUR, Davis Riley was assessed a two-stroke penalty on hole No. 17 in round two of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson for using the device with slope feature (breach of Rule 4.3). Riley self-reported the incident. — PGA TOUR Communications (@PGATOURComms) May 3, 2025 Davis Riley has shown yet again that he's an honorable steward of the game of golf. Unfortunately, the result could be getting knocked out of a PGA Tour event. For the second time in his career, Riley called a penalty on himself in a key spot. On Saturday, it happened during the PGA Tour's CJ Cup Byron Nelson in McKinney, Texas, when the 28-year-old realized that his distance-measuring device was set up with illegal settings. According to a tweet from the PGA Tour communications team, Riley "was assessed a two-stroke penalty on hole No. 17 in round two of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson for using the device with slope feature (breach of Rule 4.3). Riley self-reported the incident." At the time of the penalty, Riley was teetering on the projected cutline of 4 under, but was on the right side. He subsequently dropped to 3 under, however, after posting a 66 in the opening round of the event at TPC Craig Ranch. Riley had a similar incident at the U.S. Junior Amateur championship in 2013, when the then-16-year-old from Hattiesburg confessed to rules official Skip Giston and opponent Scottie Scheffler that his ball had rolled a bit after he addressed it while preparing to putt from just off the green on the final hole of match play. Riley was penalized one stroke as a result. He conceded Scheffler's short putt, putting the title of tournament champion on Scheffler by a 3 and 2 count. Riley's lone individual PGA Tour victory came just miles away from the site of this week's tournament, when he captured the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. He also won the Zurich Classic in 2023 with teammate Nick Hardy. Paul Skrbina of USA TODAY Sports contributed to this article.
