Hideki Matsuyama did not enter and Viktor Hovland withdrew after he missed the cut in the Masters. ... If no one withdraws, someone will start the tournament as a single. ... The four sponsor exemptions went to Webb Simpson, Shane Lowry, Gary Woodland and South Carolina native Kevin Kisner. This is the third sponsor exemption Simpson has received to a $20 million tournament. Simpson won at Hilton Head in 2020. ... Justin Thomas narrowly got into the field when he slipped only to No. 30 in the world ranking after missing the cut in the Masters. The top 30 are eligible for signature events.
