Hunter Mahan, presently ranked 90th in the Official World Golf Ranking, will miss the Match Play for the first time since 2007. The disappointment there is how solid Mahan has been in the event; he won in 2012 and has been top 10 each of the last five seasons.
Another former champion, Luke Donald (88th in the OWGR), will miss the Match Play for the second straight year after having qualified for each one dating back to 2005.
