The FedEx Cup Playoffs were over for Masters champ Danny Willett before they even began.
The Englishman took up PGA Tour membership following his victory at Augusta National, but his lone starts in PGA Tour-sanctioned events after the Masters came at the final three majors and the Players Championship. As a result, Willett ended the regular season at No. 75 in the FedEx Cup points race.
But Willett skipped The Barclays last week, dropping to No. 86 in the process. This week, Willett is the only player absent from the 100-man Deutsche Bank Championship, opting instead to defend his title on the European Tour at the Omega European Masters in Switzerland.
