AK most likely pulled out due to the lawsuit from his former management agency falling on him this week...
Can anyone elaborate on this, please?

Anthony Kim, winner of the Wachovia Championship two weeks ago and atop a group of rising young American players, has terminated his agreement with player manager Rocky Hambric seven months early.
In a letter sent to Hambric on May 6, just two days after his client’s runaway victory at Wachovia, Kim advised his Dallas-based agent of the termination.
“Earlier in the year he notified us he wasn’t going to renew his original agreement, but we all agreed to finish the year,” said Hambric, the president of Hambric Sports Management.
Hambric, who endured a similar split with Charles Howell III in 2002, has filed a lawsuit in Dallas seeking damages.
“It does hurt,” Hambric said. “But we had no alternative than to protect our rights under the agreement.”
Kim – who faded after a fast start at The Players, finishing tied for 42nd – is not playing this week’s AT&T Classic near Atlanta. He is signed to play next week’s Crowne Plaza Invitational and the Memorial Tournament.
Kim’s lawyer, Cleveland-based David Aggers, was not immediately available for comment.
