Brooks Koepka’s PGA Championship tuneup ended before it began.
Koepka withdrew from the AT&T Byron Nelson early Wednesday morning, with no reason given. He was replaced in the field by Satoshi Kodaira.
Koepka’s withdrawal puts into question his readiness for the PGA Championship, which he won in both 2018 and ’19. His manager did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The four-time major winner hasn’t played since the Masters, where he uncharacteristically missed the cut. He had finished inside the top 10 in each of his past three major championships prior to the early exit at Augusta National.
