Hideki Matsuyama withdraws from BMW Championship, will miss Tour Championship

Hideki Matsuyama opened the 2023 BMW Championship with a 1-over 71 Thursday at Olympia Fields’ North Course outside of Chicago.

However, due to a back injury, Matsuyama withdrew before the second round of the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

The Japanese star has suffered through several injuries over the last few seasons and this just adds to the list.

Currently ranked 47th in the point standings, Matsuyama will miss the Tour Championship at East Lake next week, as only the top 30 earn an invitation.

He’s made the last nine Tour Championships, the longest active streak of any player.

In 24 events this season, Matsuyama recorded just two top-10 finishes with his best week coming in March when he grabbed solo fifth at the Players.
