**John Daly Withdraws from PGA Championship Due to Thumb Injury**
Two-time major champion John Daly has withdrawn from the PGA Championship due to a thumb injury.
Daly, 56, aggravated the injury during the second round of the Memorial Tournament last week. He shot a 76 and missed the cut.
Daly said he is “extremely disappointed” to miss the PGA Championship, which will be held at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, from May 19-22.
“I was really looking forward to playing in the PGA Championship, but I just can’t grip the club properly right now,” Daly said.”I’m going to take some time off to let my thumb heal, and I hope to be back playing soon.”
