"Davis Love III withdrew Tuesday (September 27, 2005) from the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro, dashing the hopes of tournament officials who hoped the golfer’s presence here this week would spark ticket sales and provide a much-needed boost to the event’s coffers.
Citing fatigue from last week’s Presidents Cup in Virginia, Love told agent Mac Barnhardt on Tuesday morning that he needed to withdraw. Barnhardt, who is attending the Chrysler Classic on other business, immediately informed tournament officials."It’s obviously a big blow," said Mark Brazil , the tournament’s director.
"I’m not going to say (ticket sales) won’t be affected because, of course, they will. But the important thing is for Davis to get healthy … and if that means not competing in Greensboro, then that’s what needs to be done."
