Hideki Matsuyama withdrew from the 2024 BMW Championship on Friday due to a lower back injury.

"I am disappointed to have to withdraw from the BMW Championship after experiencing lower back discomfort while warming up this morning, which made it impossible to play today," Matsuyama said in a statement. "Thank you to BMW and the Western Golf Association for a great experience here at Castle Pines."

The 32-year-old was coming off a strong first round in the event after previously winning the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday.
