Will Zalatoris had to withdraw from this past weekend’s BMW Championship due to a back injury. At that time, he was at the top of the standings for the FedExCup Playoffs because of his win at the St. Jude Championship.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Zalatoris won’t be able to compete in this week’s Tour Championship. His back injury is still nagging him.
Allen Hobbs released a statement this Tuesday on behalf of Zalatoris.
“After Will’s withdrawal from the BMW Championship on Saturday, his medical team determined that the source of his back pain is two herniated discs,” Hobbs said. “Unfortunately, this means Will is unable to play this week at the Tour Championship.”
