A PGA Tour official confirmed to ESPN that Glover had withdrawn and Ryo Hisatsune, the first alternate, had replaced him in the field. The tour was not given a specific reason for Glover’s withdrawal.
However, Glover told the Golf Channel that he misread a text message with his tee time, which was set for 10:26 a.m. ET/8:26 a.m. Arizona time.
“I’m kicking myself but laughing myself at the same time,” Glover told the Golf Channel.
Glover said he was in hist hotel room when a WM Phoenix Open official called him to tell him he had a minute before his tee time.
