Will Zalatoris withdraws from Tour Championship with back issue

ATLANTA — For 29 other guys, the road to the FedEx Cup finale just opened a new, wide-open, high-speed lane.

For Will Zalatoris, though, a very costly medical dead end. One of the favorites this week to take the title at East Lake and the $18 million prize that comes with it, Zalatoris withdrew from the Tour Championship on Tuesday because of a back issue that flared during last week’s playoff semifinal.

According to his manager Allen Hobbs, Zalatoris was diagnosed with a pair of herniated discs in his back. He also will be sidelined for next month’s Presidents Cup.
