(via Golf Channel) This leads us to Graham DeLaet, who withdrew from The Northern Trust on Friday, citing a back injury. One of his Twitter followers, a fantasy golf player, expressed his extreme disappointment, tweeting “Second week in a row I’ve had a guy withdraw after one round of PGA.”
I don’t care about your fantasy golf. I care about my health. Get a life. https://t.co/kkAZ2bWN69— Graham DeLaet (@GrahamDeLaet) August 25, 2017

Because, as I just said, I don’t care about your fantasy golf. https://t.co/hcA22fk81k— Graham DeLaet (@GrahamDeLaet) August 25, 2017

Ooh wee, it seems as though we have one very testy golfer in this. Seeing as how I am a man who plays fantasy golf (Draftkings picks will be out tomorrow!), it sucks when you play someone in your team that ends up either missing the cut or withdrawing from the tournament. It really gets my blood boiling, especially when you put in a good amount of your salary into the player. But I think we all need to take a 30 second time-out, catch our breath, and not act rashly about this. Yes, it’s never fun to lose money, but to hate-mail a guy because he was injured and withdrew from the tournament is just being a dick.
So I am 100% on Graham DeLaet’s side here: just because you put him in your lineup, doesn’t mean you get to freak out on him because he withdrew. If I was Graham, I would have done the same exact thing and publicly shamed these morons.
