Paul Casey forced to withdraw from Dubai
Nov. 14, 2009 - 1:00 PM ET

Paul Casey has withdrawn from the Dubai World Championship, which will held November 19-22.

Casey was forced to withdraw from last week's WGC-HSBC Champions due to fears that he had injured the interior oblique muscle, which had caused him to miss most of the second half of the season. He went back to the Untied States to be evaluated and it was found that he had irritated the area, but hadn't torn the muscle. However, according to Casey on his Twitter page, his doctor has ordered him not to play in Dubai.
