Watson, who shot a round of 63 on Friday at the PGA
Championship, disclosed the injury in a tweet announcing his
withdrawal from this week's tour stop, the Charles Schwab
Challenge.
"Recent knee issues turned out to be a torn meniscus so I'll be
out for 4-6 weeks," Watson wrote. "Hope to be back soon!"
Watson, 43, did not say which knee was injured or how long he
had been playing through it.
The two-time Masters winner tied the PGA Championship record
with his 63 in the second round Friday at Southern Hills Country
Club in Tulsa, Okla. Only one round was lower in men's major
championship history: the 62 South Africa's Branden Grace carded
during the 2017 Open Championship.
Watson shot over par in his other three rounds, however, and
finished the event tied for 30th at 3 over.
