The field at this week’s Players Championship is strong, with nearly all of the top 50 players in the world vying for a $20 million total purse — and a handsome $3.6 million paycheck going to the winner.
But Kevin Na, currently ranked 29th in the Official World Golf Ranking (and 45th in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings), withdrew from the event on Monday, following in the footsteps of Bryson DeChambeau, who announced on Sunday night that he wouldn’t be playing at TPC Sawgrass.
While DeChambeau’s WD came due to an injury, Na’s decision was family-focused. He and his wife, Julianne are due to add on to their current foursome.
