Martin Kaymer has announced he is to take an enforced break from golf due to his wrist injury.
The 33-year-old German withdrew from last week's Honda Classic after a first-round 75 due to a problem with his right wrist.
He has since seen a doctor in Munich who diagnosed a misplaced bone, and the world No 88 is now facing a spell on the sidelines, with no date for his return pencilled in yet.
"The next time I'll be back on the golf course? I don't know yet, but hopefully sooner rather than later," said two-time major winner Kaymer in a video posted on Twitter on Friday.
"I've been in Munich, seen the doctor. He told me that one bone was misplaced in my right wrist and that caused malfunction in the wrist, and that also caused irritation and inflammation.
"So I got some injections... that will speed up the recovery hopefully a little bit."
Reigning US Open champion Brooks Koepka and Japan's world No 6 Hideki Matsuyama are also currently out of action with wrist injuries.
Koepka has not played since early January, due to a partially torn tendon in his left wrist. The American said he expected to be out for about 10 weeks.
Matsuyama has been off the course since withdrawing from the Phoenix Open four weeks ago due to a left wrist injury.
He hopes to return to competition in two weeks at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
