US Open champion Brooks Koepka has been ruled out of the Masters due to an ongoing wrist injury.
Koepka has not played since finishing last in the Sentry Tournament of Champions in the first week of January, after which he was diagnosed with a partially torn tendon in his left wrist.
Asked by USA Today if he would be able to play in the year's first major championship at Augusta National, the 27-year-old said: "They said I would be about 80 per cent, but I can't play 80 percent.
"I either have to go full bore or not at all. I don't want to risk getting it re-injured and then be out a long time."
Koepka, who was 11th in the Masters last year, won the 2017 US Open by four shots at Erin Hills for his first major title.
