PGA Tour Golfer Withdraws from Waste Management Phoenix Open for Strange Reason

- Lucas Glover admitted he missed Thursday’s tee time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open for a highly unusual reason.
Here’s a new one.
PGA Tour golfer Lucas Glover withdrew from the first round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Thursday after missing his tee time.
The reason? A misread text message.
“I just misread my text messages [that listed my tee time],” he told reporters.
Glover, who is ranked No. 32 in the world per the Official World Golf Ranking, was set to make his third start of the season after missing the cut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last week. Previously this season, he missed the cut at the Sony Open in Hawaii last month after finished tied for 29th at The Sentry in Kapalua to start the new year.

Glover is hoping that 2024 is as good to his golf game as ’23, when he won the Wyndham Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Championship in back to back weeks in August. The win at the Wyndham Championship was his first victory since ’21 and just his second victory overall since ’11.
