Former FedExCup winner Jim Furyk has withdrawn from this week's season-ending Tour Championship due to a bone contusion in his left wrist.
Furyk, ranked 16th among the top 30 players who qualified for the tournament that caps the four-event FedExCup playoffs, hopes to return in the Presidents Cup in South Korea early next month.
"While I am disappointed to miss this week's event in Atlanta, I am now placing all my efforts on being healthy and ready to play in the Presidents Cup," said Furyk, who won the 2010 FedExCup.
"(U.S. Captain) Jay Haas will be made aware of my progress in the coming days, as we see how the injury responds to the treatment."
The world No 7 withdrew from last week's BMW Championship after six holes due to the wrist injury, marking the first time he had withdrawn from a PGA Tour event in 20 years, spanning 477 events.
Furyk, 45, will collect last-place money of $132,000 (£85,903) from the elite event, and will receive a FedExCup bonus based on his final standing on the points list, according to PGA Tour officials
