Patrick Cantlay WDs from Cadillac Championship

Patrick Cantlay joined the list of marquee players who will miss this week's signature event at the Cadillac Championship when he withdrew on Tuesday, citing an illness.

He'll be replaced in the field by Michael Thorbjornsen.

Ranked 32nd in the world, Cantlay has enjoyed solid recent form that saw him tie for seventh at the Valspar Championship before tying for 12th at the Masters and tying for 8th at the RBC Heritage.

The 34-year-old joins a list of players not at Trump National Doral in Miami this week that includes No. 2 Rory McIlroy, No. 3 Matt Fitzpatrick, No. 9 Xander Schauffele, No. 12 Robert MacIntyre and No. 14 Ludvig Aberg.

Cantlay's withdrawal does present an excellent opportunity for Thorbjornsen, the former Stanford star who is still in search of his first PGA Tour title. He was in contention at both The Players Championship and the Texas Children's Houston Open before settling for T22 and T14, respectively. He then missed the cut at the Valero Texas Open before a T33 at the RBC Heritage.

The Cadillac Championship is the fifth signature event of the year, featuring a $20 million prize pool and elevated FedExCup points. It will be followed by another signature event at the Truist Championship next week ahead of the PGA Championship.

The PGA Tour is returning to Trump National Doral for the first time since 2016, when Adam Scott won.
