Defending champion Tom Watson has withdrawn from next week's Senior PGA Championship.

Watson has been recovering from a pinched nerve in his wrist. He is still expected to be at Harbor Shores before the tournament, and will host the champions' dinner on Tuesday.

Watson beat David Eger in a playoff to win last year's event in Louisville, Kentucky.
