Stricker skips PGA Championship, citing fatigue

Steve Stricker will miss the PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club next week, citing low energy levels and general fatigue.

The 12-time PGA Tour winner and 2021 Ryder Cup captain has played a reduced schedule this season, making just seven starts. He withdrew from the RBC Heritage in April due to an illness, and he missed the cut at the Masters in April and the AT&T Byron Nelson in May.

Stricker said he made the decision to skip the PGA Championship after consulting with his doctors. He said he is feeling better, but he is not yet ready to return to competition.

“I’m disappointed to miss the PGA Championship, but I know it’s the right decision for me,” Stricker said. “I’m looking forward to getting back on the course soon, but I need to make sure I’m 100% before I do that.”
