2022 PGA champion Justin Thomas withdrew from this weekend’s Traveler’s Championship, the PGA Tour announced Wednesday morning.
Soon after the news became official, Thomas felt the need to explain why he decided to opt-out of the tournament, reassuring his followers that he wasn’t withdrawing to take his talents to LIV Golf.
“Before the rumors start flying, I have decided to WD to treat and rest my back which I tweaked earlier this week,” Thomas wrote on Twitter Wednesday. “Just making sure I get it taken care of and ready for the rest of the PGA season as planned.
