Dustin Johnson walks off first tee, WDs from The Masters
If you were following along on social media Thursday morning, it appeared that World No. 1-ranked Dustin Johnson — who sustained a lower back injury on Wednesday afternoon — was going to give it a go at The Masters. As reported on Twitter, Johnson made it all the way to the first tee for his 2:03 p.m. tee time before walking off and withdrawing from the event.
Here’s how the timeline of events played out as they were reported on social media.

DJ’s 1st range session: Not very long and all limited swings. He’s back on range now, but #Masters status uncertain. https://t.co/PuGwPwDDif pic.twitter.com/yLwGz8tGNY

After hitting a handful of balls, DJ has gone for more treatment on his back. Still unclear if he will give it a go. #TheMasters

Uh, DJ just hit a shot and went to the clubhouse. That can’t be good.

Ok, he’s back out and I am confused.

DJ asked about getting physio on the course between holes. Told it’s OK as long as he doesn’t delay play.
— Bob Weeks (@BobWeeksTSN) April 6, 2017
DJ is going to tee it up. Physio going to follow him and if he needs it, he’ll get treatment during the round per @ToddLewisGC #themasters
