Brian Campbell (shoulder) WDs from Travelers Championship
June 19 - Brian Campbell withdrew from the Travelers Championship before the start of Thursday's first round due to a shoulder injury. The winner of the Mexico Open in February, Campbell joined Corey Conners, who was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to a wrist injury suffered during last week's U.S. Open. Campbell, 32, was replaced by Davis Riley in the field. The Travelers is the final of eight signature events in 2025, featuring a $20 million purse. Campbell rose to 97th in the Official World Golf Ranking following his maiden PGA Tour victory in Mexico, but has struggled to build on that triumph. His best finishes in 12 events since are a pair of T32s, including at the Masters. In his past three starts, Campbell has a pair of missed cuts sandwiching a withdrawal from the Charles Schwab Challenge. --Field Level Media

PGA Tour Golfer Withdraws From Travelers Championship
PGA Tour Golfer Withdraws From Travelers Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Travelers Championship is set to tee off on Thursday with a star-studded player list including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and others. But one player will be missing his shot at that $20 million purse. Advertisement Canadian golfer Corey Conners has withdrawn from the event, PGA Tour officials announced Tuesday, with his spot in the field filled by Jhonattan Vegas. Conners, a two‑time PGA Tour winner, is still recovering from a right wrist injury that also sidelined him at last week's U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. Conners originally injured the wrist during Thursday's opening round of the U.S. Open when his club struck a television cable while playing from a bunker. He aggravated the injury again on Saturday's third round and withdrew just hours before his scheduled tee time alongside Ryan Fox.

'Corey Conners deserves a full page on his own today,' Kim wrote. 'He was obviously in some pain as soon as he hit [that bunker shot] and I didn't think he'd play more honestly'. Advertisement Despite the setback, Conners has enjoyed a strong 2025 campaign. Through 16 starts, he has recorded five top‑10 finishes and currently sits tenth in the FedEx Cup standings. At last year's Travelers Championship, he fired back‑to‑back 66s over the weekend to finish in a tie for 27th, one spot ahead of his T9 effort in 2023. Now 33, Conners will focus on rehabilitation with an eye toward returning to competition at next week's Rocket Mortgage Classic. His replacement, Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas, will make his first start in the Signature Event.

Corey Conners withdraws from 2025 Travelers Championship
For the second straight week, a top-25 player in the world has withdrawn from competition. Canada's Corey Conners was 3 under on the front nine Saturday at the 2025 U.S. Open and appeared to be making a move up the leaderboard before aggravating a wrist injury after playing a bunker shot from a plugged lie in one of Oakmont's ruthless sand traps. He shot 5-over 40 on the back and withdrew the next morning. Corey Conners of Canada gets treatment on the 12th tee during the third round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 14, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. That wrist is obviously still bothering him, because the PGA Tour sent notice early Tuesday that Conners has withdrawn from this week's 2025 Travelers Championship. Advertisement He will be replaced by Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas. Conners, a 33-year-old from Ontario, has quietly been one of the most consistently good players on Tour this season. He doesn't have a win, but five top 10s — including a tie for eighth at the Masters and a solo third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational — have him No. 10 in the FedEx Cup standings. He's also the highest-ranked Canadian player in the world at No. 24. The 2025 Travelers Championship — the PGA Tour's final signature event of the season — begins Thursday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
