Swedish sensation Ludvig Åberg, who finished second in his Masters debut last month, withdrew on Monday from this week's PGA Tour event with a knee issue but expects to return in time for next week's PGA Championship.
Aberg, ranked No. 6 in the world, was set to make his Quail Hollow debut in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday, where a field headlined by Rory McIlroy is competing in the final tune-up ahead of the May 16-19 PGA Championship.
"Unfortunately, I'm dealing with a knee issue and after consulting with my doctors, we think it's best that I take some additional time to rest," Aberg said in a statement released by the PGA Tour.
