Alex Smalley will replace Sheegala when the year's second major begins Thursday at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C.

His lone victory to date on the PGA Tour came at the Fortinet Championship in September 2023.
Smalley, 28, is competing in his third PGA Championship. He tied for 23rd in 2023 and missed the cut in 2024.
Ranked No. 120 in the world, Smalley has not won on the PGA Tour but has two top-10 finishes in 14 events this year.
