Im, 26, successfully defended his title at the KPGA Tour's Woori Financial Group Championship last week in his native South Korea. He was scheduled to be part of a featured group that included defending champion Jason Day and Jordan Spieth at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.
Im will be replaced by S.Y. Noh, who got off to a fast start with a 60 at last year's tournament before limping to a tie for 74th place.
Also on Thursday, Russell Knox withdrew for an undisclosed reason. The two-time PGA Tour winner was replaced by Scott Piercy.
Knox had been named as a replacement earlier Thursday following the withdrawal of Sean O'Hair.
