Patrick Cantlay’s Injury Leaves Uncertainty Over Participation at Royal Troon

Patrick Cantlay’s injury has cast uncertainty on his participation at the Royal Troon. He withdrew from the John Deere Classic due to an injury sustained while training, preventing him from making his debut at the event this week. While he did not specify the nature of the injury, it is unfortunate timing as he was set to compete in a major championship.

Despite not winning since the 2022 BMW Championship, Cantlay has had four top-10 finishes this season and had only missed one cut in 15 starts. However, the injury is likely to prevent him from competing until the British Open at Royal Troon on July 18.

Although Cantlay is not listed in the field for the Genesis Scottish Open next week, Jordan Spieth headlines the field at the John Deere Classic this week. The top two finishers after the event who are not already exempt will earn spots in the British Open. Spieth, a past champion of the event, is looking to secure his spot at the prestigious championship. With Cantlay’s absence, other players have an opportunity to seize their chance for a berth at Royal Troon.
