Fred Funk, an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour and a nine-time winner on the PGA Tour Champions, and Brandt Jobe, a two-time winner on the senior circuit, withdrew during Saturday's round at the Galleri Classic in Rancho Mirage.

The 66-year-old Funk had played five holes on the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club when he withdrew. He had shot a 1-over 73 in his opening round and was four over through five holes Saturday morning before withdrawing after a double-bogey on the par-3 14th hole with a wrist injury.

Jobe, 56, shot a 4-under 68 in Friday's first round but had made two double bogeys and was 4 over for the day on Saturday when he withdrew after seven holes. Jobe, who had hip surgery last year, cited the hip as his reason for withdrawing.

This is the inaugural edition of the Galleri Classic, a senior tour event played on the same course where the LPGA played its first major of the year for 51 years before moving to Houston this year.
