World No. 6 Minjee Lee withdrew from the LA Championship prior to the start of the second round on Friday. No reason was provided by the LPGA Tour.
The 29-year-old Australian star was tied for 40th after she posted a 3-under 69 in the first round at the El Caballero Country Club in Tarzana, Calif.
Lee has won 11 tournaments on the LPGA Tour, including three majors. Her most recent major title was the Women’s PGA Championship last year in Frisco, Texas.
Lee began her 2026 season with top-five finishes at the HSBC Women’s World Championship and the Founders Cup before missing the cut at the Aramco Championship earlier this month.
