Overview
- PGA TOUR Communications confirmed Knapp’s withdrawal from the Quail Hollow event and named Austin Smotherman as the replacement.
- Newsweek reported the injury is the same sprained left thumb that kept Knapp out of the Cadillac Championship.
- The field also changed earlier when Collin Morikawa withdrew, which opened a spot for Andrew Putnam.
- Both the Truist and Cadillac events are no-cut tournaments with bigger FedEx Cup points, so missing them costs chances to add to his season haul.
- Knapp sits 36th in the world and 14th in the FedEx Cup after seven top-11s in nine starts, and he remains listed for next week’s PGA Championship.
