Webb Simpson withdrew from the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches on Wednesday.
The PGA did not disclose a reason for Simpson’s withdrawal, however it noted that he will be replaced by Mason Andersen in the tournament at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
Simpson, 39, won the 2012 U.S. Open championship and is a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour. He currently stands No. 346 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
His most recent victories came in the 2020 RBC Heritage and the 2020 WM Phoenix Open.
He has played in two tournaments this season, finishing in a tie for 16th at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January before missing the cut in Phoenix earlier this month.
Andersen, 26, has competed in four tournaments in 2025, missing the cut in three of them and finishing tied for 65th last week at the Mexico Open.
