World No. 1 Johnson WD's From Byron Nelson Citing Knee Discomfort
/Maybe the most unusual thing about the news of World No. 1 Dustin Johnson WD’ing from this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson: the announcement was made by the PGA Tour.
With PIP dynamics and Johnson as a prime target of Golf Saudi for its Super Golf League, you have to wonder if this was a way to prevent Johnson from accruing points on the back of a WD? PIP watchers must know!
Gosh what a lame program.
Anyway, this was probably just the Tour wanting to help an injured player save time by doing the statement-issuing instead of a traditional social media announcement. Right?
His WD leaves the event with three top 10 players in the field before next week’s PGA Championship.
