The Truist Championship gets underway on Thursday 8th May and, just 48 hours prior to the first tee shot, one of its former champions has withdrawn from the event.
Jason Day, who claimed the title in 2018 by two strokes, will not feature in the tournament, with it announced on Tuesday morning that he had withdrawn due to a herniated disc in his neck.
Day was replaced, initially, by Patrick Rodgers, who then also withdrew and was replaced by Chez Reavie.

It's not the first withdrawal in 2025 for Day, who has enjoyed a fine run of performances this season, claiming five top 30s in nine starts.
At the PGA Tour's flagship event, The Players Championship, Day withdrew before his first round tee time because of illness, with the Aussie then returning two weeks later at the Texas Children's Houston Open.
Despite the withdrawal, it has been reported that Day is hopeful to return at next week's PGA Championship, the second men's Major of 2025.
Day's last appearance came at the RBC Heritage
A previous winner of the PGA Championship, that tournament is being played at Quail Hollow Club, which is the usual host of this week's Truist Championship, which is instead being staged at Philadelphia Cricket Club.
Day claimed the PGA Championship back in 2015 at Whistling Straits, while his Truist Championship win in 2018 came at Quail Hollow.
Coming into this week, Rory McIlroy is looking to claim a fifth Truist Championship title, with the 36-year-old already picking up The Masters, Players Championship and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2025.
