Tony Finau set off a firestorm of speculation when he withdrew from last week’s Hero World Challenge. The quick—and ultimately erroneous—takes were that he was headed to LIV Golf. Finau later refuted that idea, revealing that he underwent left knee surgery to repair torn meniscus and remove cartilage.

Finau also withdrew from last week's Hero World Challenge, prompting rumors that he might be headed to LIV Golf. Finau told Golfweek that his absence from the Bahamas was because of offseason knee surgery. He said on social media Wednesday that his knee still wasn't ready for tournament play.

Tony Finau has withdrawn from the Grant Thornton Invitational and will focus on recovering from recent knee surgery.
