Leading English player Paul Casey was a late withdrawal from LIV Golf Korea citing a wrist injury the day before the event.
He joins the Phil Mickelson as a high profile absentee along with Tyrrell Hatton, who skipped the event following the birth of his first child.
Australia’s Travis Smyth will replace the Englishman in the lineup for Crushers GC at Asiad Country Club in Busan, South Korea.
Casey, now 48, recorded four top-10 finishes in 2025 and finished runner-up at LIV Golf Dallas in a four-man playoff. He was part of the winning team at LIV Golf South Africa following a stunning late Sunday fightback.
Smyth, 31, has recorded four professional wins, including two on the Asian Tour.
