Jason Day Withdraws From WGC Match Play, Emotionally Reveals That His Mom Is Battling Cancer

WOW. Just wow. Absolutely heart wrenching news from Jason Day. Revealing that his mom has been battling cancer and that’s why he withdrew from match play because she’s having surgery on Friday. Pretty wild that he’s even been able to be around a golf course while all this is going on behind the scenes. Especially since he went through the same thing with his dad. That had to be a tough thing to keep under wraps for so long. It sucks that Day felt the need to reveal it because of the speculation there’d be if he didn’t give a reason. That’s the shitty part of being a public figure. That press conference was like twenty punches to the gut. There’s not much else to say. Obviously hoping for nothing but the best for Jason Day’s mom and his entire family going forward.
