Justin Thomas has withdrawn from the PGA Tour’s Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut. He tweeted that he “decided to WD to treat and rest my back, which I tweaked earlier this week.”
Thomas, the PGA Championship winner in May, was scheduled to play in the pro-am this morning at TPC River Highlands but pulled out to rest his injury and initially remained in the tournament. But on second thought, he withdrew with an abundance of caution.
“Just making sure I get it taken care of and ready for the rest of the PGA season as planned. Hate to be missing one of the best/my favorite events,” he wrote of the Travelers Championship.
