PGA Tour Announces Unfortunate Zach Johnson News Before Charles Schwab Challenge
The PGA Championship concluded this Sunday, with Scottie lifting the Wanamaker Trophy at 11-under. Up next, he's set to tee off at the Charles Schwab Challenge beginning May 22. Before that, PGA Tour announced unfortunate news about a fellow golfer. Zach Johnson has decided to withdraw from the upcoming tournament; the PGA Tour announced on Monday that the $49.8 million golfer will be replaced by Camilo Villegas. Advertisement Will Zalatoris has also chosen to forego his spot and will be replaced by Dylan Wu. Meanwhile, brothers Rasmus and Nicolai Højgaard have withdrawn and will be replaced by Akshay Bhatia and William Mouw, respectively.

Colonial Country Club's tree-lined, narrow fairways and 29 strategically placed bunkers reward technical precision and penalize errant tee shots, making it one of the Tour's purest ball-striking tests. Winners here receive 500 FedExCup points. Advertisement Strong performances at Colonial often lead to improved priority ranking, as top-10 finishers not only earn substantial points but also qualify for the Aon Next 10, granting access to premier events like the Memorial Tournament. Recent renovations, including a $20 million restoration to recapture Perry Maxwell's classic design, have preserved the course's strategic challenges while modernizing greens and bunker complexes. Besides the World No. 1, defending champion Davis Riley, major winner Hideki Matsuyama, long hitter Maverick McNealy, crafty shotmaker Tommy Fleetwood, and former Masters champ Jordan Spieth will also be participating in the challenge.

Scottie Scheffler recently won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, Texas, finishing at 253 (−31) to tie the PGA Tour 72-hole scoring record and defeating Erik van Rooyen by eight strokes. He decided not to take part in the Truist Championship, choosing to rest his body and bring his A-game to the PGA Championship. Meanwhile, Grant Horvat, golfer and social media influencer, has an interesting prediction for the world No. 1. Advertisement He put all his bets on Scheffler winning the PGA Championship. The 26-year-old made a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, writing, "Who's winning the PGA Championship? I'm going with Scottie". Scottie Scheffler, his wife, Meredith, and son Bennett pose with the winner's trophy during the final round of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson golf tournament.© Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images On May 5, 2025, Horvat hosted the Byron Nelson winner in an 18-hole stroke-play match at Scheffler's course, featuring strategic shot discussions, banter and viral highlights on YouTube/TikTok.
