Lucas Glover Withdraws from Waste Management Phoenix Open After Missed Tee Time

PGA Tour golfer Lucas Glover withdrew from the first round of the WM Phoenix Open on Thursday after missing his tee time.

The reason? A misread text message.

“I just misread my text messages [that listed my tee time],” he told reporters.

Glover, who is ranked No. 32 in the world, was set to make his fourth start of the season after finishing T58 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last week. Previously he missed the cut at the Sony Open in Hawaii last month after finishing T29 at the Sentry in Kapalua to start the new year.

Lucas Glover admitted he missed Thursday’s tee time at the WM Phoenix Open for a highly unusual reason.

Glover is hoping that 2024 is as good to his golf game as 2023, when he won the Wyndham Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Championship in back-to-back weeks in August. The win at the Wyndham Championship was his first victory since 2021 and just his second victory overall since 2011.
