Cameron Champ has announced that he will be suspending the rest of his 2021 season due to an injury. This is not how the American would have envisioned this season. But unfortunately, he had to pull out from the remaining events of 2021, citing an injury to his left wrist. Meanwhile, he has only played in one event in the new season, and the fans had a lot of expectations from the 26-year-old. 

The California native had a great 2020-21 season with a win at 3M Open. This year, he was determined to go a step ahead and have another incredible season. But sadly, the three-time PGA Tour winner had to back off from the initial few months of the 2021-22 PGA Tour season.
