Akshay Bhatia Withdraws From Valspar Championship as Sam Ryder Enters Field

The reported withdrawal follows earlier confirmed pullouts without an official reason.

Overview

  • Bhatia, a recent Arnold Palmer Invitational winner who finished T13 at The Players, was replaced on the entry list by sixth alternate Sam Ryder.
  • PGA TOUR Communications previously confirmed withdrawals by Keith Mitchell, Robert MacIntyre, and Sudarshan Yellamaraju.
  • Neither Bhatia nor the PGA Tour has disclosed why he withdrew from the event.
  • Bhatia’s exit brought the number of pre-tournament withdrawals to six since the field was set last week, according to The Mirror.
  • Max Greyserman’s withdrawal opened a spot for Joel Dahmen to enter the field after failing to qualify on Monday.
