Following his brave and amazing battle through vertigo at the U.S. Open championship last weekend, Jason Day has withdrawn from this week's PGA Tour event:

.@JDayGolf has withdrawn from competition this week. We wish him good health and a great season.

The Insurance City Open began in 1952, but is better known as the Greater Hartford Open, the name it held for 36 years. The current corporate sponsorship titleholder is Travelers Insurance.

Twice before, Day's PGA Tour career has been interrupted by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, a debilitating inner-ear disorder. One attack last summer forced him to withdraw from the WGC-NEC Invitational at Firestone, and he was unable to start this year's PGA Tour Byron Nelson in Dallas for the same reason.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: We sincerely hope Jason's doctors and medical consultants can successfully treat him without resorting to neurosurgery, which always carries a variety of risks.

Thanks 4 the AMAZING support this week @usopengolf - I’m disappointed I couldn’t get it done but can’t wait for St Andrews & another chance.

We can't wait, either. :)
