MIAMI: Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg, who finished solo second in his Masters debut last month, withdrew on Monday from this week’s PGA Tour event with a knee issue but expects to return in time for next week’s PGA Championship.

World number six Aberg was set to make his Quail Hollow debut in Charlotte, North Carolina where a field headlined by world number two Rory McIlroy are competing in the final tune-up ahead of the May 16-19 PGA Championship.

“Unfortunately, I’m dealing with a knee issue and after consulting with my doctors, we think it’s best that I take some additional time to rest,” Aberg said in a statement released by the PGA Tour. “I hope everyone has a great week and I look forward to teeing it up next week.”
