The field for the 2022 Masters Tournament is now 90 after Paul Casey withdrew before the start of his first round.
Casey, ranked No. 25 in the Official World Golf Ranking, was scheduled to tee off at 10:53 a.m. ET alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith. A release sent by tournament officials said, “Due to injury, Paul Casey has officially withdrawn from the Masters Tournament prior to the start of his first round.”
There was no word on the injury or severity. Casey played the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday with his son, Lex. He also participated in practice rounds. In March, Casey withdrew from each of his three matches because of back spasms at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Texas.
Casey’s best Masters finish was a tie for fourth in 2016. He has 12 top-10 finishes in majors in his career. This would have been his 16th Masters appearance.
