(Reuters) - Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg, who finished solo second in his Masters debut last month, withdrew on Monday from this week's PGA Tour event with a knee issue but expects to return in time for next week's PGA Championship.

World number six Aberg was set to make his Quail Hollow debut in Charlotte, North Carolina where a field headlined by world number two Rory McIlroy are competing in the final tune-up ahead of the May 16-19 PGA Championship.
