| Parker McLachlin | G | Out | Jul 16 | undisclosed | Unknown | |
| Latest News: Parker McLachlin withdrew prior to his second round today at the Reno-Tahoe Open. McLachlin opened with a 9-over-par 40-41=81 on Thursday. He was scheduled to tee off today at 1:04 p.m. local time, and did not provide a reason for pulling out. He won this event in 2008, and his exemption from that victory expires this year. It’s likely that he’s already submitted his Q School application since he’s cashed just four times in 15 starts, earning a mere $53,291. 7/16/2010 1:05:00 PM |

| Latest News: Brian Bateman withdrew during his opening round of the Reno-Tahoe Open, citing a back injury. He was 4-over-par through 14 holes when he called it quits. He has zero fantasy value but he does make his way into a few events via Past Champion status, so we’ll keep tabs on him via our injury report until he returns to action. He’s entered in next week’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational. 7/15/2010 3:57:00 PM |

| David Toms | G | Out | Jul 6 | shoulder | Unknown | |
| Latest News: David Toms withdrew from next week’s British Open today, citing his right shoulder injury. “David withdrew from the British Open this morning because he needed the rest for his shoulder,” said Toms’ manager, Adam Young. “After playing four tournaments in a row the best decision for the remainder of the season was to take some time off. He certainly would like to be at St. Andrews, especially since he has had prior success there, but the need to rest his shoulder is a priority.” Toms announced in March that he has a bone spur (rotator cuff impingement) in his shoulder, but opted for treatment and therapy over surgery. 7/6/2010 11:56:00 AM |

| Peter Lonard | G | Out | Jun 28 | hip | September? | |
| Latest News: In a July 7 update on his web site, Peter Lonard has announced that he will not return to competition this month. In late June, he was hopeful that he could resume live action shortly, but he has elected not to push his recovery from hip and knee surgeries. “My specialist is happy enough with the progress and I am now playing on a regular basis,” Lonard said, “but he has suggested that it is not worth placing too much early pressure on it at this stage. All the progress we have made since the operation might come unstuck and so I am prepared to wait a little longer. I would rather do that and be sure than overdo it. I hope to be back playing tournament golf around September or October but even if I have to write off most of this year then at least I know I am giving everything the best possible chance of a full recovery.” 7/12/2010 5:17:00 PM |

| Nick O’Hern | G | Out | Jun 13 | knee surgery | October? | |
| Latest News: Nick O’Hern will be out of action for several months following surgery on both of his knees. The lefty last teed it up at THE PLAYERS Championship (71-73=MC), where he tore the meniscus in his left knee. With a dodgy right knee that has been scoped a couple of times in recent years, O’Hern decided to have both knees repaired simultaneously. He had arthroscopic surgery on the left and reconstructive surgery on the right. “It got to the point with my knees that I thought this isn’t worth it so we organised the operations,” he said. “It’s a shame, but that’s the way it happens.” With nearly $400K in the bank in 11 starts this year, look for the Aussie to receive a Major Medical Extension affording him roughly 15 starts to earn what should be about $275K. There is a slim chance that he could return to competition in October and earn his 2011 card the old-fashioned way. 6/14/2010 3:32:00 AM |

| Chez Reavie | G | Out | Jun 2 | knee surgery | 2011 | |
| Latest News: Chez Reavie had reconstructive surgery on his right knee in Scottsdale on Tuesday, and will miss the remainder of the 2010 season. The 2008 Canadian Open champion has struggled considerably this year, cashing just six times in 15 starts and none for a top 30. His knee has been swollen since the Bob Hope Classic, and a recent MRI revealed a tear of the meniscus. “The doctor said there were no complications and it went well,” said the 28-year-old Reavie, who tore the meniscus once before in high school, shortly after he tore his ACL, neither of which was never repaired. “The doctor told me he was surprised I lasted this long without an ACL. If I didn’t have the work done now I could be in further damage and arthritis sooner rather than later so I decided to get it done.” He’ll begin 2011 on a Major Medical Extension awarding 13-15 starts to earn what should be about $550K. 6/2/2010 4:25:00 PM |
