Morgan Hoffmann will get another start on the PGA Tour.
The former No. 1 amateur in the world exhausted the final start of his medical exemption at last week’s Travelers Championship, making the cut and finishing in 68th place.
He said afterward that he hoped to play more events this summer on sponsor exemptions, and he didn’t have to wait long for an invite.
Steve Stricker, who won the John Deere Classic three consecutive years (2009, ’10, ’11), withdrew from the 2022 edition of the event, leaving his unrestricted sponsor exemption up for grabs.
