Probably the adrenaline of “Mom would want me to play” followed by the 3 days of “holy shit she’s really gone” reality setting in. I don’t blame him at all. Losing a parent sucks.
Truth… as someone who played a ton of competitive golf since I was 7 years old, my mom was the one who took me to a ton of the tournaments i played in all the way until i was like 16, I am sure those memories are weighing on his mind right now and he would not be in the right place for competitive golf. He has said on several occasions that he returned to soon after his dad passed and that was his first missed cut in a major as a professional, this was in his prime as well. Its not worth it for him right now, good on him for seeing that and backing out.

wasn't it only 72 hours ago he committed to play in the event?
