Daniel Berger, set to play with Charley Hull, WDs from Grant Thornton
Todd KellyAbout six weeks after it was first announced, there's been a change in the field for this week's Grant Thornton Invitational.
The third-year tournament is a unique mixed-team event featuring 16 two-player teams of one PGA Tour player and one LPGA player.
On Monday evening, it was announced that Daniel Berger, who was scheduled to play alongside Charley Hull, has withdrawn. There was no reason given.
In his place steps Michael Brennan, a big hitter who won in just his third PGA Tour start. Brennan's victory at the Bank of Utah Championship zoomed him past Korn Ferry Tour status and straight to the big tour.
Hull, meanwhile, is one of the most popular players on the LPGA.
The updated line-up for Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, now looks like this:
- Patty Tavatanakit and Jake Knapp*
- Lydia Ko and Jason Day*
- Lauren Coughlin and Andrew Novak
- Brooke Henderson and Corey Conners
- Charley Hull and Michael Brennan
- Megan Khang and Keith Mitchell
- Jessica Korda and Bud Cauley
- Nelly Korda and Denny McCarthy
- Jennifer Kupcho and Chris Gotterup
- Andrea Lee and Billy Horschel
- Maja Stark and Neal Shipley
- Lexi Thompson and Wyndham Clark
- Lilia Vu and Tony Finau
- Lottie Woad and Luke Clanton
- Angel Yin and Tom Hoge
- Rose Zhang and Michael Kim
