Los Angeles (AFP) - Jim Furyk withdrew from the United States team for the upcoming Presidents Cup in South Korea on Friday citing an ongoing wrist injury.

Furyk, one of the most experienced members of the US team who would have been playing in his eighth Presidents Cup, has been replaced by J.B. Holmes who only narrowly missed out on an automatic place in the team.
