Collin Morikawa has withdrawn from the Truist Championship field <\/a>at Quail Hollow.<\/p>\n

First alternate Andrew Putnam<\/a> has entered the 72-player, no-cut signature event. <\/p>\n

Austin Smotherman, Jordan Smith, and Michael Thorbjornsen are on the list of alternates in front of Brooks Koepka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for Morikawa, no reason for the withdrawal was given (note: none required before tournaments). He just finished T-62 among the 72-player field at Doral\u2019s Blue Monster over the weekend.<\/p>\n

After winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, he has been facing a variety of injuries \u2014 most notably a back issue that caused Morikawa to drop out after one hole of the first round at The Players Championship in March.<\/p>\n

The seven-time PGA Tour winner also withdrew ahead of the Texas Open<\/a> a month later to get some rest before a double stint at Augusta and Harbour Town. He finished inside the top 10 at both the Masters and the RBC Heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two weeks of golf have felt like a full year of golf, just grinding through it, playing,\u201d Morikawa said after his fifth top-10 finish in 2026. <\/p>\n

While there have been plenty of highs this year, Miami was not one of them. His finish at the no-cut Cadillac Championship was his poorest result when playing four rounds.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Texas Open, this week\u2019s withdrawal comes ahead of a major.<\/a> Morikawa has not given a reason but it is likely he\u2019s following a similar rest strategy for Aronimink.<\/p>\n
