June 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cUnfortunately, my team and I have decided that I am going to have to WD from the US Open championship, which I\u2019m gutted about,\u201d Penge wrote. \u201cMy health is the no.1 priority for now, and until I get to the bottom of the issues, I won\u2019t be competing. The plan is to return fully fit.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have had numerous scans and seen several specialists, and we are getting close to resolving the issue that I\u2019ve been struggling with for 8 months. I appreciate the continued support as always, and I\u2019ll be back soon!\u201d<\/p>\n
A few fellow pros have already sent well wishes on Instagram, including Ludvig Aberg, Alex Fitzpatrick, and Richard Mansell. Penge was hoping to be back in time for his first US Open, but he has decided to focus on his health first and foremost. He teed off in his first Masters earlier this year, made the cut, and finished T-49.<\/p>\n
Penge has had a strong season thus far, despite the up-and-down health. He\u2019s had three top-25 finishes, most notably a T-4 finish at the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Golf and Spa Resort. His last event was the aforementioned PGA Championship, a little less than a month ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[Photo: David Cannon] Marco Penge, a three-time European Tour winner and PGA Tour rookie, has announced on social…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":726845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[4225,64,63,118461,13599,755,151960,44,1747,352111,85,352112,1751],"class_list":["post-726844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-article","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-dp-world-tour","tag-european-tour","tag-golf","tag-marco-penge","tag-news","tag-pga-tour","tag-player-health","tag-sports","tag-tour-news","tag-us-open"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/726845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
