Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the CJ Cup due to a knee injury.
Reigning champion Koepka, who last won at the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational in July, was even par through his first two rounds at Nine Bridges, located on Jeju Island in South Korea.
Prior to the 2019-20 season the four-time major winner had stem cell-treatment to repair a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee.
He missed the cut at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open two weeks ago – his first tournament since returning.
It is unclear how serious Koepka's injury is or when he will be back on the course.
