"Over the weekend, I had severe pain in my left wrist and had doctors confirm an injury that requires rest and limited movement."
"The AT&T Byron Nelson means the absolute world to me and I'm disappointed to miss it this week. Playing in front of family & friends in Dallas is one of the highlights of my year, and the tournament staff and volunteers are second to none.
"I look forward to being back next year and many years after."
He added that he was focused on recovering as quickly as possible and will be assessing his recovery week to week.
