Netflix Cup: Collin Morikawa Sidelined by Injury, Replacement Named
As tonight’s Netflix Cup looms and four PGA Tour members will pair up with four F1 Drivers at Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas, Nevada ahead of the F1 Grand Prix in the Sin City, there is a last minute change occurring to the teams.
It appears Collin Morikawa is injured and he will be replaced by Tony Finau, who made the quick trip from Utah to Las Vegas to fill in as a last minute substitute.
Morikawa wrote in an announcement on his Instagram story:
“I’m very disappointed to say that I’ve had to withdraw from today’s Netflix Cup as I tweaked my back while at the gym earlier this week. I’ve been so excited about this for a long time but I have to prioritize my health going into next season. I’ll still be onsite, rooting for Pierre and Tony as they make their run for the Cup.”
Last week, the teams were announced, and included the following pairings:
- Rickie Fowler and Lando Norris
- Justin Thomas and Carlos Sainz
- Tony Finau and Pierre Gasly
- Max Homa and Alex Albon
The event is set to stream live on Netflix at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET tonight, Tuesday, November 14th.
