Golfer Robert Allenby mugged following tournament in Hawaii

PGA Tour player Robert Allenby was kidnapped from a bar, beaten and robbed on Friday night, according to a report from the Golf Channel.

According to the report, Allenby was at a bar in Hawaii with his caddie and a friend following the second round of the Sony Open. Allenby was taken from the bar and suffered facial injuries while having his wallet and cell phone stolen. The assailants dropped Allenby six miles from the bar where he was eventually found by a person in a park. Allenby reportedly had no recollection of the incident.

Steve Sands of the Golf Channel reported Allenby returned to the wine bar the next morning with police to review security footage and try to piece together the details of the incident. Allenby’s caddie and friend were not with him when he was taken from the bar. The 43-year-old missed the cut at the Sony Open. He suffered facial injuries, including a large abrasion above his left eye.

Update: Allenby released a statement on the matter through the PGA Tour on Sunday morning.

I’d like to thank the local authorities, Sony Open and PGA TOUR officials and others that have assisted me throughout this unfortunate ordeal. I’d also like to thank the many people that have reached out with their well-wishes and support.

Medically, I thankfully didn’t suffer anything major beyond some bumps and bruises that will take a bit of time to heal. My plan currently is to fly back to the mainland and at that point, evaluate my ability to play next week at the Humana Challenge. Whatever the outcome regarding my ability to play next week, I anticipate a successful rest of the 2014-15 PGA TOUR season.

Any updates on the investigation will come from local law enforcement.
