A good chunk of DFS golf players received bad news early Thursday morning.
Hideki Matsuyama withdrew from the Players Championship due to a back injury, the PGA Tour Communications account tweeted out at 8:03 a.m.
That was after the tournament began but before Matsuyama began at TPC Sawgrass in Florida, which is an important distinction for DFS managers who had him in their lineup and bettors who backed the reigning Masters winner.
DFS managers are stuck with a rather expensive option guaranteed a goose egg in their lineup since those lineups lock in.
