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.

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.

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.

Arnold Palmer Invitational 2025 full field: Xander Schauffele returns as Scottie Scheffler defends
The PGA Tour's Florida swing continues with the Arnold Palmer Invitational, March 6-9. This will be the fourth of eight signature events on the season and offers a $20-million purse with $4 million going to the winner. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler prevailed last year by five shots and returns to defend his title against the game's best, including world No. 2 Xander Schauffele. Schauffele has played only once this year, tying for 30th in the no-cut, limited-field Sentry. The two-time major champion then withdrew ahead of The American Express because of a rib injury and has since been recovering. The API is one of three signature events (Genesis Invitational, Memorial Tournament) that implements a cut to the top 50 and ties as well as anyone within 10 shots of the lead through 36 holes. Here's a look at the initial full field at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida: The field for the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard will be finalized following the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. Players can still become eligible through the Aon Next 10, Aon Swing 5 and Top 30 OWGR.
