For the first time in more than seven months, Jason Day tweeted on his official account Tuesday, excited to announce he had joined forces with Bridgestone Golf and will play the company’s TOUR B XS ball.
The good vibes didn’t last long, however, as the former Arnold Palmer Invitational champ was back in the news on Wednesday after the PGA Tour announced he had withdrawn from the event at Bay Hill.
Day captured the title at this event in 2016 and has finished inside the top 35 thrice since. But this marks the third time in four years the Aussie star has pulled out of the event, citing back issues as the reason for the previous two. There was no official word on why Day left this year.
