Sungjae Im withdraws from 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson due to illness

The 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson has seen a host of withdrawals over the last few days, with Sungjae Im the latest golfer to drop out of the tournament. Im announced his withdrawal from the tournament just a few hours before the event started at TPC Craig Ranch, Texas.

According to Underdog Golf, a golf X (formerly Twitter) account, Sungjae Im has retired from the CJ Cup Byron Nelson due to illness. He will be replaced by Noh Seung-yul, a South Korean professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour.

Will Zalatoris was the first golfer to withdraw from the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson due to a flare up of his back injury. He was replaced by Nick Watney. Soon after, Jarred Jeter withdrew from the tournament with Bill Haas taking his place.

Sean O'Hair withdrew on the day of the event and was replaced by Russell Knox. However, in a bizarre turn of events, Knox also retired from the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson and was finally replaced by Scott Piercy.

The series of withdrawals at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson has caught the golf world by surprise, with the total WDs now piling up to five.
