KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Xander Schauffele’s year is not off to an ideal start. The No. 6 player in the world has withdrawn from the Sentry Tournament of Champions with a back injury. Schauffele first experienced back pain a month ago in the Bahamas. But he worked that out and felt better as the week went on. Kapalua was different. He withdrew from the pro-am Wednesday and found the injury getting worse. Schauffele will head home to get an MRI and see if he can find out what’s going on with his back. He has a heavy West Coast schedule ahead of him.
