Five PGA Tour Golfers Abruptly Withdraw from RBC Canadian Open in Less Than 24 Hours originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
In less than 24 hours, the PGA Tour has announced that five golfers have withdrawn from the RBC Canadian Open. On Monday, the PGA Tour initially announced that two golfers had withdrawn from the tournament.
Hayden Springer and Joseph Bramlett were added in place of the first two golfers who withdrew from the RBC Canadian Open. Additionally, Mark Hoffman was added to the field with a sponsor’s exemption.
These changes came as Anders Albertson and Michael Thorbjornsen withdrew from the tournament. On Tuesday, three more golfers followed suit by withdrawing from the RBC Canadian Open.
It is good news for Dylan Wu, Cameron Champ and Taylor Montgomery who were added to the field as a result of the three open spots.
These golfers were added after Matt Kuchar, Sahith Theegala and Taylor Dickson all withdrew less than 48 hours before the tournament starts. It is a lot more turnover for a field than normal.

The PGA Tour had already announced on Sunday that Ben Martin, Brandon Matthews, K.H. Lee and Brian Campbell were among the golfers who withdrew from the upcoming tournament over the weekend.
With the U.S. Open a little more than one week away, some golfers may be opting for additional rest ahead of the upcoming major. Additionally, Scottie Scheffler is not in the field, fresh off his win at the Memorial Tournament.
Instead, Scheffler will turn his focus to attempting to win his second straight major. The RBC Canadian Open still has plenty of star power in the field of golfers.
Rory McIlroy is a heavy favorite to win the RBC Canadian Open at +450, per DraftKings. Ludvig Aberg is a distant second in the odds at +1400.
