As per Zalatoris' manager Allen Hobbs, the injury may not be too serious. In a statement released after the golfer's withdrawal, Hobbs said that Will Zalatoris' withdrawal from the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic was precautionary. Hobbs mentioned it's important that Zalatoris listens to his body and gets rest.
