Also known as: wd.
WD stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of WD across different fields and industries.
Withdrawn (WD) in golf refers to a player voluntarily leaving a tournament before completing all scheduled rounds. A WD status is recorded in official tournament results when a golfer chooses to exit mid-event due to injury, personal reasons, or strategic decisions. Unlike DSQ (Disqualified) or DNS (Did Not Start), which indicate rule violations or non-participation, WD is an intentional withdrawal initiated by the player.
Common reasons for WD in professional golf tournaments include:
- Injury or illness preventing the player from continuing.
- Weather conditions or personal concerns leading to voluntary withdrawal.
- Strategic decisions, such as preserving energy for future events.
- Equipment failures impacting performance or making continuation impractical.
A WD does not result in penalties but may impact ranking points and prize distributions. Golfers who withdraw must inform tournament officials to ensure proper record-keeping and avoid potential misclassification.
