Jason Day has been forced to withdraw from the International Team for the upcoming Presidents Cup due to a persistent back injury. The Australian golfer's absence is a significant blow to the team's prospects.
Captained by Geoff Ogilvy, the International Team will now look to Christiaan Bezuidenhout to fill Day's spot. Bezuidenhout, a South African player, brings a strong game to the roster as the team prepares to face the United States in the biennial team competition.
