Paul Casey has withdrawn from LIV Golf Korea<\/a>, with Travis Smyth taking his place in the field.<\/p>\n

Casey was forced to pull out of the $30m event at Asiad Country Club in Busan due to a wrist injury.<\/p>\n

Australian Smyth will replace the veteran Englishman in Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC team.<\/a><\/p>\n

DeChambeau is the defending champion in Korea<\/a>, with his Crushers also winning the team event in 2025 when it was held at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon.<\/p>\n

Casey’s withdrawal is the latest roster change for Korea – headlined by Tyrrell Hatton missing for Legion XIII<\/a> with Max Rotluff standing in.<\/p>\n

There was also a surprise when Danny Lee was demoted to a wild card<\/a>, with Doyeob Mun taking his place on Korean GC.<\/p>\n

Phil Mickelson also continues his absence due to a family health matter – and Scott Vincent keeps his place as stand-in for the HyFlyers.<\/p>\n

Casey suffered from a wrist injury earlier in his career, but it’s not known if his current problem is with the same area.<\/p>\n

A social media post by the Crushers said casey was suffering from “discomfort in his wrist” so it’s likely a precaution.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old is currently 34th in the individual standings and coming off his joint-best finish (T14) of the season last time out in Virginia.<\/p>\n

Casey, who finished T29 in Korea last year, is still waiting for his first victory on LIV Golf, losing two playoffs in Hong Kong in 2024 and in Dallas last year.<\/p>\n

Smyth will make his second LIV Golf start of the season after finishing T49 in Mexico as a wild card, while he also played the final round in Virginia as a sub for Danny Lee.<\/p>\n

Smyth won the International Series Japan<\/a> title earlier this year and was leading the Asian Tour Order of Merit before returning to LIV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
