“I’m very concerned,” Furyk said. “I have only two more events to finish out the season.
“I would like to be ready for both of them, and if I can’t get ready next week, I would like to be ready for the Presidents Cup.”
Furyk, a former U.S. Open champion and the FedEx Cup winner in 2010, is in ninth place in golf’s playoff race. Despite pulling out, he has locked up a spot in next weekend in the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, which includes the top 30 players in the standings after the BMW.
Furyk had a streak of 477 straight tournaments without a withdrawal. The last time he pulled out of a tournament was at the 1995 Western Open. He had surgery on the wrist in 2004, but “in a different area”.
“It’s beyond sore. I’m in pain out there and trying to manage it is, I’m not near 100 percent,” Furyk said. “Right now, being out here, I have no chance to compete.”
