EDISON, New Jersey (Reuters) - PGA Championship winner Jason Day of Australia withdrew from Wednesday's Pro-Am at The Barclays tournament due to a back issue but should be able to tee off in Thursday's first round.

The withdrawal was a precautionary move, the player's trainer said in a statement at the first event of the four-tournament, season-ending FedExCup playoffs that start on Thursday at Plainfield Country Club.
