‘Sorry To Hear That’: Golf World Reacts to the Disappointing Steve Stricker News

Steve Stricker is one of the most prominent golfers. He guided the team U.S. to a historic victory in the last year’s Ryder Cup as a skipper. However, since then, Stricker has been facing an overabundance of issues, especially with his health. Moreover, he has announced disappointing news recently as the Senior PGA Championship is all set to begin on Friday, May 27th. 

He announced that he won’t be competing at the 2022 Senior PGA Championship. Stricker has withdrawn from the second major championship on the PGA Tour Champions. Moreover, Steve tested positive and decided to withdraw from the prestigious event. 

“Super bummed that I test positive for Covid on Friday and have to withdraw from the Senior PGA Championship this week! Just a small setback and will look forward to getting back after it when I feel strong again!” wrote Steve. Furthermore, Stricker passed on his best wishes to all the players and made a special mention of his brother-in-law, Mario Tiziani. 

Steve Stricker won the first major championship of the year

Steve Stricker recovered from a life-threatening disease a few months back. He was suffering from an unknown illness that kept him away from professional golf for over six months. However, he made a solid comeback as he won The Tradition, the first major championship of the year on the PGA Tour Champions.

Moreover, he annihilated the field and won the event by six strokes. He carded -21 for the event, while Padraig Harrington finished runner-up with a score of -15. Hence, after this victory, Stricker looked confident and was ready to compete at the Senior PGA Championship.
