After winning the event last year alongside Cameron Tringale, Jason Day announced Tuesday that he has withdrawn from next week's Franklin Templeton Shootout to spend time with his family.
Day's wife, Ellie, gave birth last month to the couple's second child, Lucy. Day had planned to play both this week at the Hero World Challenge and next week in Naples, Fla., but has now withdrawn from both events for more time at home.
"Regrettably, I am withdrawing from the 2015 Franklin Templeton Shootout to stay in Ohio with my family and newborn daughter, Lucy," Day said in a release.
