PGA Tour golfer unfortunately withdraws from PGA Championship.
The PGA Championship is set to tee off on Thursday this week at Aronimink Golf Club, boasting an impressive field. But unfortunately, Jake Knapp is not in it again.
The golfer is dealing with a left thumb issue that has kept him out of consecutive PGA Tour events. He has missed the Cadillac Championship as well as the Truist Championship.
The 31-year-old started the 2026 season in superb form with five top-10 finishes in 9 starts. Knapp has already added over $3 million in prize money to his career total of $9.2 million.
The PGA Championship management confirmed the news on Monday. With Knapp’s exit, Tom Hoge has been added to the field.
