Aaron Wise withdraws from the 2024 Valspar Championship, field cut to 153

Aaron Wise has withdrawn from the 2024 Valspar Championship. The American golfer pulled out of the competition just minutes ahead of the competition’s start. The reason for the withdrawal is yet to be revealed. According to the PGA Tour, Wise will not be replaced.

Wise was scheduled to tee off on Thursday, March 21, at 1:40 pm ET. He was paired with Lucas Glover and K.H. Lee. Owing to Wise pulling out, the duo will take the first tee off the 10th with each other. The Valspar Championship will continue as scheduled with a 153-player field.

It is pertinent to note that Wise had been absent from competitive golf for a while. The young golfer spent over six months away from the greens owing to mental health issues. Ahead of the 2023 Masters, Wise released a statement notifying fans that he will be taking ‘some time away to focus on his mental health.’

Having made his last appearance in the 2023 US Open, Wise made his big comeback at the Puerto Rico Open earlier this month. However, he failed to make the cut. Having recovered from his issues, the golfer was ready for a big outing this week at the Valspar Championship, being held at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor.
