Schauffele withdraws from The American Express for medical reasons
PGA and British Open champion Xander Schauffele withdrew from The American Express on Monday for medical reasons, the second highly-ranked player who had to pull out of the third PGA Tour event of the season. Scottie Scheffler withdrew last week, which was not a surprised as the world's No. 1 player recovers from minor surgery to his right hand that was punctured by glass while preparing Christmas dinner. Schauffele's manager said in a text message the No. 2 player in the world withdrew for a medical reason, though there were no additional details.
