Åberg, hailed for his remarkable ascendancy in professional golf, cited "illness" for his withdrawal, a move that has sparked conversations across the golfing world, considering the 77 (+5) he shot on Thursday afternoon that left him sitting in dead last as play opened on Friday.

The Pebble Beach Pro-Am, known for its $20 million prize pool and illustrious list of participants, continues on without Åberg. The tournament, a blend of celebrities and professional golfers, has historically been a platform for emerging talents to showcase their skills on a global stage.
