Mark O'Meara withdrew from the Senior British Open at Carnoustie on Tuesday following the death of his father, Bob, at the age of 81.
The 53-year-old O'Meara, a two-time majors winner, cut short his two-week visit to Scotland to fly home to Florida and be with his family.
Bob O'Meara had heart surgery in April for an aortic aneurysm, but was taken to a hospital last week because of an infection.
"The last week has been a roller coaster for me," O'Meara said before leaving Scotland. "I found out last Saturday that my dad was in intensive care and had been in dire straits at the weekend."
