Viktor Hovland withdrew from his Ryder Cup singles match due to a neck injury. He was experiencing discomfort in his neck during Saturday's matches, which worsened and led to him being unable to move his neck on Sunday morning. An MRI revealed a flare-up of a previous injury, specifically a bulging disc in his neck. Despite treatment and attempts to warm up on the day of the singles matches, his restricted neck movement made it impossible for him to play, prompting him to inform Team Europe captain Luke Donald of his withdrawal. As a result, the Ryder Cup "envelope rule" was enacted, leading to his match being halved and both teams receiving half a point each.
