Francesco Molinari, Padraig Harrington withdraw from PGA Championship
SAN FRANCISCO – Francesco Molinari and Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington have withdrawn from the PGA Championship next week at TPC Harding Park, costing the first major of the year a pair of past major champions.
Neither gave a reason, and both major champions have not played since the COVID-19 pandemic led to golf being shut down for three months. Molinari is in the process of moving to California.
They were replaced by Troy Merritt and Talor Gooch.
