Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Masters champion Bubba Watson has withdrawn
from early May's Wells Fargo Championship.
The tournament announced on its Twitter account Tuesday that Watson withdrew
to spend time with family.
"We will miss him and completely understand his need to be with them," the
tweet said.
Two Sundays ago, Watson defeated Louis Oosthuizen in a playoff to win the
green jacket and his first major title. However, his wife and new son did not
travel to the tournament, and Watson frequently talked about how it was tough
to leave them.
The Wells Fargo Championship will take place at Quail Hollow Club from May
3-6. Lucas Glover is the defending champion.
