Collin Morikawa, Hideki Matsuyama headline injury report list for the Travelers Championship 2023
The 2023 Travelers Championship is set to begin on Thursday, June 22, but some of the prominent players, like Collin Morikawa and Hideki Matsuyama, are dealing with injury concerns. Fans will have to wait to see if their favorite stars will get fitness clearance in a couple of days.
Morikawa has been struggling with back problems for some time now. He had withdrawn from the Memorial Tournament's final round due to the spasm. He said that the problem started when he was doing some exercise in the gym during the event's week.
However, Morikawa declared himself fit enough to play at the US Open, where he finished tied for 14th.
"We are swinging fine; there is no pain, swinging great," Morikawa told the media last week, as per sbnation.com.
Matsuyama also has a few injury concerns. As per the Golf Injury Report, he is dealing with multiple issues in his back, neck, wrist, and ankles. It was reported last week that the golfer was dealing with some neck issues during the practice round of the US Open.
Hideki Matsuyama said his neck is still bothering him but it's getting better. He hasn't been pushing himself too hard in practice and is in good spirits heading into the US Open. #LACC @TrackingHideki twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
However, the 2021 Masters champion went on to play all four days at LACC and finished T32. If Matsuyama plays this week, it will be his first appearance at the Travelers Championship.
Not just Morikawa and Matsuyama, but several other players are doubtful for the upcoming Travelers Championship due to the injury.
