Jason Dufner, who won the 2013 PGA Championship at Oak Hill for his lone major title, withdrew from this year’s edition at the same venue, the PGA of America announced on Friday.
No reason was provided for Dufner’s withdrawal. He missed the cut at this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson. Sweden’s David Lingmerth replaced him in the field.
Also withdrawing ahead of the championship was Martin Kaymer. The 2010 PGA and ’14 U.S. Open winner had been battling an injury this year, but has competed in each of the last three LIV Golf events, including this week in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His absence reduces the number of LIV players in the PGA Championship field to 17. He was replaced by Callum Tarren, with Eric Cole now the first alternate (Editor’s note: Cole got in as a spot was being held for the AT&T Byron Nelson winner, which was an already-exempt Jason Day. Stephan Jaeger is now the first alternate.)
Here is a look at the current full field for the men’s second major of the season, which will be contested May 18-21 in Rochester, New York (CFPT represents the qualifying club pros):
