Muirfield Village Golf Club member Jason Day skips Memorial Tournament to rest sore wrist

Westerville resident and Muirfield Village Golf Club member Jason Day is sitting out the May 29-June 1 Memorial Tournament because of soreness in his left wrist.
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to compete in the Memorial," Day messaged tournament officials last week. "I've had some discomfort in my left wrist and after consulting with my doctor he recommended I take the week off to rest and recover.

"I always look forward to playing in Ohio at Jack's event each year," Day wrote. "As a member at Muirfield we are quite honored to recognize Barbara Nicklaus as this year's honoree. I look forward to returning in 2026."
Memorial Tournament: Even without Rory McIlroy, 2025 field is strong
Jason Day said after skipping the 2025 Memorial Tournament with a sore wrist, he hopes to return in 2026.
Day, 37, last missed the Memorial in 2021, when a back injury forced him to withdraw. His only other absence came in 2011. His best finish in 15 appearances is a tie for fourth in 2020.
Day has also been struggling with a back issue that caused him to withdraw from the May 8-11 Truist Championship. Day was dealing with a herniated disc near his neck, but returned to play in the PGA Championship a week later, where he missed the cut.

Day's season has included three top-10 finishes, including a tie for eighth at the Masters.

Last year at the Memorial, the former world No. 1 stayed in his RV in his Westerville driveway to simulate a typical tournament week on the road. The driveway to fairway system began in 2020, when Day tied for fourth at the Memorial. Needless to say, with his injury, he'll be sleeping in his own bed this week.

He enters the day at 16 under, three shots clear of the field and in prime position to finally capture that elusive first victory.

Tommy Fleetwood gets 100% real about being on verge of first PGA Tour win

The post Tommy Fleetwood gets 100% real about being on verge of first PGA Tour win appeared first on ClutchPoints. Tommy Fleetwood got 100% honest about being on the verge of winning his first tournament on the PGA Tour. The No. 17 player in the world has had a productive career, winning seven European Tour titles and finishing in the top five of all four majors. In addition, Fleetwood won a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics representing Great Britain. But the 34-year-old is now at -16 and up three strokes at the Travelers Championship and trying to complete a career-first. Advertisement And Fleetwood is clearly excited, especially after shooting a 63 on the third day. In an interview with Golfweek's David Dusek, the English golfer gave a statement on reaching this career milestone. 'I would love to win on the PGA Tour. I think it's like an element of your career that everybody wants. I've given myself like a back-end chance a couple of times this year, but I've not been in contention. So this is like my first real chance, so I'm really excited about that and looking forward to it.' Fleetwood has several elite challengers behind him. Keegan Bradley and Russell Henley both sit at -13 with Henley shooting a 61 in Cromwell, Connecticut. Jason Day is the next closest contender at -11, with everyone else being -8 or farther back. Fleetwood, however, has to like his chances, and it's long overdue considering all that he's accomplished in his career. There is some light rain that's projected for Sunday, and winds are expected to be at around 11 mph. It won't necessarily be easy for Fleetwood to keep his three-shot lead, especially on a course that many players are starting to find their rhythm on. However, the veteran is the favorite to win the Travelers Championship and has done the work to put himself in this position. Fleetwood is also finding his best form when he's needing it the most in this tournament. It's time to close the deal now.
