The reasons for his withdrawal are still unknown.
On the other hand, Xander Schauffele's team confirmed that the world number 2 will not participate in this competition 'due to medical issues'. In addition, the American golfer will not perform at TGL in a few days.
Morikawa had a positive experience at the Farmers Insurance Open two years ago, finishing third, while last year, he didn't make the cut, disappointed with his performance.
Looking at his previous season, the American played great in the global, he improved his form, and showed what kind of danger he poses to the opponents. It is important to stress that some high profile golfers have also decided to retire, such as Nicolai Hojgaard.
Matthieu Pavon
Last year, Matthieu Pavon celebrated in this competition as a rookie. In an interview with the media, the Frenchman pointed out that it was a special feeling, thanking the PGA Tour leaders for this opportunity.

A golfer who comes from Europe is proud to be able to play with the best in this sport. Realizing his dream, Pavon admitted that it is hard to believe in such a feat. It'll be interesting to see how much Matthieu can do this year.
"Yeah, I still can't believe it. As I said, it feels like there is another round to play tomorrow because we're only Saturday," Pavon said. "That is special. I can't thank the PGA tour enough to give us the opportunity to come from Europe and compete here in America against the best players in the world. That's always been the dream for me. I got finally a shot and I took it. I mean, it's a dream come true and it's a little bit hard to believe."
