Twenty-one golfers have withdrawn from the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open. Eleven players opted out of the competition ahead of the start of the event on Wednesday, January 22.
Xander Schauffele withdrew from the competition because of a rib injury. Later, Akshay Bhatia, Nicolai Højgaard, Collin Morikawa, Tyler McCumber, and Mackenzie Hughes also withdrew along with Will Zalatoris. Ryan Moore replaced Zalatoris but ended up withdrawing from the competition as well.
The tournament has already seen several withdrawals, and play was suspended due to darkness on Thursday, January 23. Subsequently, nine players opted out of the competition on Thursday.
Max Homa struggled during the competition after shooting a 77 in the first round. In the second round, his struggles continued as he made four bogeys on the front nine. He was playing at 4-over for the round and then withdrew from the competition.
In addition to Homa, Nate Lashley, Hayden Buckley, Kevin Roy, and Emiliano Grillo also withdrew from the event. Meanwhile, Braden Thornberry withdrew after playing the front nine of the first round on Wednesday.
There have been several reasons for the players to withdraw from the competition. Some were reportedly struggling with illness, and a flu bug was found at Torrey Pines.
Some withdrew as the Genesis Invitational is reportedly moving to Torrey Pines because of the Los Angeles fire. Since Genesis is a signature event with a larger purse, players prefer to play in that.
Meanwhile, several players opted out of the competition on Thursday as the play was suspended due to darkness. It's a regular PGA Tour event that has a cutline after 36 holes. Some players, who were on the verge of missing the cut, withdrew from the competition.
