Wow! I was wondering why he had to withdraw. First and foremost, I hope everything is ok with him and that he gets better quickly. That is so much more important than anything else right now.

Secondly, what happens if he can't go to the Presidents Cup? Do they go with Zach Johnson or another captain's pick?

Also, on a little sidenote, does anyone know why Sean O'Hair had to withdraw? Sorry sucker was on my fantasy team..

Scary stuff. I'll be surprised if he plays in the Presidents Cup. He should take care of himself first. I just hope that this is just an isolated event and not part of any bigger problem with his heart/health.

My guess is that his spot will be filled with a captain's pick.

Yeah, I agree Dave. I definitely don't think he should be taking part in the Presidents Cup by any means. His health is the big thing right now, and I think he needs to take a month or so off to run some more tests, etc. if needed.

David is a tough Louisiana boy, if he can make it through the hurricane he can make it through this. I had a conversation with him at the PGA Championship, he's got a great head on his shoulders. GET WELL SOON!

IF he can't play.... Go with Zach Johnson.

He can get the job done.

I just heard on ESPN that Toms plans on playing in the Pres Cup.
