J.J. Spaun has withdrawn from the Tour Championship in Atlanta with a shoulder injury.
The 2025 U.S. Open winner was 4 over through the opening five holes in his first round — going bogey-double bogey-bogey on holes 2-4, when the decision was made to leave the course. His departure leaves Min Woo Lee playing solo.
PGA Tour’s rules official Mark Dusbabek broke the news on Golf Channel’s Round 1 live coverage. Dusbabek said he did not have specifics on the injury.
Spaun and his caddie were seen being driven off the sixth hole in a golf cart.
The world No. 16-ranked played finished 22nd at the BMW Championship last week, where he celebrated his 36th birthday and shared the lead with four other players after the opening round.
