PGA Tour Announces Unfortunate Si Woo Kim News on Friday<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kim got off to a rough start on Friday, notching a double bogey on the par-4 first hole at TPC River Highlands. The No. 61 golfer in the World Golf Rankings then followed that double with back-to-back bogeys on holes two and three.<\/p>\n

Kim’s second round at the Travelers Championship came to an end after he carded another double bogey on the par-4 12th. The four-time PGA Tour winner withdrew with a back injury.<\/p>\n

Kim was 8-over at the time of his withdrawal on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Si Woo Kim is a WD with a back injury during the second round of the Travelers Championship,” the PGA Tour wrote in an announcement on X.<\/p>\n

Kim has a history of back injury issues, but this was his first withdrawal of the 2025 season. The 29-year-old golfer finished T8 at both the RBC Heritage and PGA Championship earlier this year, earning him 38th position on the season-long FedEx Cup standings. He finished T42 at last week’s U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club.<\/p>\n

Kim is the second player to withdraw from this week’s signature event at TPC River Highlands. Jordan Spieth withdrew from the Travelers Championship field with a neck\/upper back injury after going 5-over through his first 12 holes on Thursday.<\/p>\n
