Jason Day, The Players Championship 2016, was forced to withdraw from the tournament this year before the first round of the starting round at TPC Sawgrass due to health problems. This is a pity for Australian golfers, especially when he is in a stable performance since the beginning of 2025.
In his career, Jason Day had a peak period in 2015-2016, when he won 8 titles, including the 2015 PGA Championship and The Players Championship 2016. Especially, victory at TPC Sawgrass 9 years ago was one of his most impressive performances. Day not only won the championship with a 4 -stick gap, but also showed an overwhelming performance, affirming the position of the world’s No. 1 golfers at that time.
At that time, Jason Day was a formidable force of the golf village. He has 5 consecutive times in the top 10 Major tournaments, holding the No. 1 position in the world for 51 weeks – a achievement that not many golfers achieved in the modern era. But then, persistent injuries and decline made him gradually slide from the top golfers.
After many years of struggling with erratic condition and performance, Jason Day has shown signs of revival from the 2023-2024 season. In particular, in the first months of 2025, he was having a very positive start:
- T3 at American Express – one of his best results in recent years.
- T8 at Arnold Palmer Invitational last week – showed stability in major tournaments.

These achievements make fans expect an impressive performance at TPC Sawgrass, where the day was crowned. Unfortunately, just before entering the first round, he had to withdraw due to health problems. This is not the first time the body has affected the career of day, but this time is really unfortunate, when he is having a great chance to find the glory.
