This week’s PGA Tour event features plenty of star power, but there will be some significant golfers missing from the field. The PGA Tour announced that one star golfer withdrew from the Truist Championship days before the tournament tees off.
Another name absent from the field is Scottie Scheffler, who will not be competing in the Truist Championship after notching a win at the Byron Nelson. Instead, Scheffler will get some extra rest in preparation for the PGA Championship which tees off on May 15.
After not competing at the Byron Nelson, Rory McIlroy is back in action at the Truist Championship.
The PGA Tour announced on Tuesday that Jason Day has withdrawn from the Truist Championship and will be replaced by Patrick Rodgers. This news comes one day after the PGA Tour revealed several additional changes to the field.
Erik Van Rooyen, Sam Stevens and Keith Mitchell have all been added to the Truist Championship. Nicholas Hojgaard has missed the field as a result of the Aon Swing 5, while Stevens and Van Rooyen made the tournament because of the rule.
The Truist Championship will be held at The Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course, with World No. 2 and four-time Truist Championship winner Rory McIlroy set to defend his title.
The field will be finalized following the conclusion of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson.

“The Aon Swing 5 is for players who peak in Full-Field Events between the Signature Events, awarding spots to the top five FedExCup points earners from those events who are not already qualified,” the PGA Tour explains on their website.
Day has earned $72.6 million over his golf career, including more than $12 million at majors. The longtime golfer has notched 13 PGA Tour wins over his career, including the 2015 PGA Championship.
