According to Andrew McCarty of The Spun on Wednesday, Paul Casey of Cheltenham, England has withdrawn from the 2022 United States Open because of a back injury. The third major of the 2022 golf season will take place one week from today at the Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Casey is the second high-profile golfer who is withdrawing from the event due to an injury. The other is 15-time major champion Tiger Woods, who is still dealing pain in his leg from his vehicle accident in California last February.

Casey is not a major champion, but has finished in the top 1o in 12 major events. His best finish was a second place result at the 2020 PGA Championship which was won by Collin Morikawa.



Casey does have 21 professional wins and has reached as high as number three in the world in 2009. Among his 21 professional wins, were three victories on the PGA Tour. Casey’s prior wins came at the 2009 Shell Houston Open in a playoff over J.B. Holmes, and back-to-back wins at the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida. In 2018, he beat former Masters winners Patrick Reed and Tiger Woods by a stroke. Then in 2019, Casey beat Jason Kokrak and South African and 2010 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen by a stroke.

The major news heading into the U.S. Open is the fact that the players from the newly-formed LIV Tour are being allowed to compete. Among the players participating at Brookline include Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, and Phil Mickelson, who will be competing in two different continents in back-to-back weeks.
