Sang-Moon Bae is scheduled to tee off Thursday afternoon as part of first-round action at the Canadian Open.

But a court ruling Wednesday in South Korea eventually will force the two-time winner off the PGA Tour and into a mandated two-year military service in his native country.

"I am sorry to those who have supported me, including all my fans and South Koreans, for causing anxiety," Bae told the Yonhap News Agency.
